    "content": "to use publicly funded projects to promote and brand themselves for personal political gains without adequate checks and balances. THAT Article 231(4) of the Constitution disallows the use of individual portraits on currency, but allows images that depict or symbolise Kenya or an aspect of Kenya. This principle should also be applied to public projects. THAT the County Government vehicles have been used for personal purposes by political leaders and other county staff due to the lack of branding on these vehicles. The Petitioner, therefore, prays that the Senate does the following- (i) Amends the County Governments Act to provide a framework to disallow governors and MCAs to brand public projects with their names, images, or portraits. (ii) Ensure that all public funded projects are branded as courtesy of Kenyan taxpayers. (iii) Formulate a regulatory framework that will ensure Government vehicles are branded with colours of the national flag to make them easily identifiable. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No.238(1), I commit this Petition to the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations for consideration as the matter relates to the governance and management of county governments. In terms of Standing Order No.238(2)(a), the Committee is required, in not more than 60 calendar days from the time of reading the prayer, which is today, to table its report in the Senate for consideration. The Senate shall thereafter consider the report of the committee. Thank you."
