    "content": "Number one, the Governor of Isiolo County has completely refused to respond to the statements. Number two, we have about three summonses before various committees of the House, which he has refused to honour. There is a summon before the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. There was a summon before the Committee on Public Accounts, where he was charged and has refused to pay the fee. He has refused to honour summons from the Health Committee. He has decided to take the Committee on Health to court to prevent it from taking any action against him. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on this particular statement I requested, we have a mortuary that has not been working for the last year. The Senate Committee on Health went to Isiolo to look at it. Today, our people are taking bodies to neighbouring Meru County. Hospitals in Meru County have refused to take bodies from Isiolo County. There is a statement before the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmetnal relations and he has refused to appear before the Committee. I have written to you regarding the same. All the hospitals in Isiolo County are closed down because the nurses, clinical officers and technical staff have put down their tools. I have cried to this House and indicated that Isiolo County is bleeding. I need direction from you because this situation is unacceptable. If this happens, all the governors will be disrespectful to this House. It is in the public domain that the Governor of Isiolo said that he would not appear before the Senate and nobody is taking him anywhere. I have a Motion before this House to stop the budget allocated to Isiolo County from being disbursed. I will move this Motion and indicate the mismanagement and irregularities in Isiolo County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, kindly respond to my letter and give us direction on this matter because Isiolo County is shut down as far as service delivery is concerned. Thank you."
