    "content": "What is happening is that public money is being released to strangers in office. Those people who are now exercising the authority to incur expenditure in the County Government of Garissa have no locus standi and they are not recognized by law. Therefore, whatever expenditure is taking place in the County Government of Garissa, is illegal. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you know the County Governments Act does not suggest or provide guidelines to county governors on how to constitute governments. The County Governments Act prescribes a method of how legitimate county governments and county executives are constituted. Without spending too much time, I would suggest that after the visit by the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, I hope they will take up this challenge, we to call the COB to explain to this House how money has been released to the County Government of Garissa, since 2022 August to date, when there are no chief officers in that county government. Lastly, I have confirmed with you and I feel a bit ashamed that this Governor of Garissa is an Azimio Governor. It is a big shame that a governor had initially been rejected by the people between 2017 and 2022 and had to be returned to office by the people of Garissa. He is now behaving as though Garissa County is a personal kiosk. 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."
