    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, save all the people of Meru. At the opportune time, we shall demonstrate that the centre cannot hold any more. We will be urging you to save the MCAs the back-and-forth and the to-and-from the Senate. If someone was brought here barely 10 months ago, then there must be an issue. It is not just in vain, but it is because the centre cannot hold any more. We shall demonstrate how the Governor has completely violated a court order just like she has shown contempt to this Senate by making a mockery of their advisory. Sorry, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am reminded it is for a year. The Governor has completely usurped the County Public Service Board (CPSB). We will give you an example where the Governor advertised for three officers in her office – her personal Public Communication Officers I and II. She shortlisted 17 for purposes of recruiting three. Out of them, she recruited six. What surprises me and should also surprise this Senate is that out of the six that were recruited, only one was in the shortlist. The other five were not in the shortlist and were not even applicants. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have had a cursory look at her defence and on the misappropriation of funds, the Governor has only attempted to prove by accounting for Kshs2.3 million instead of Kshs78 million. Ninety-nine per cent of the documents used for the Kshs2.3 million (the work tickets and the voucher) are not signed by the examiner or the director of accounts and, therefore, were prepared hurriedly for purposes of the Senate’s consumption. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
