    "content": "that a governor who has been elected by the electorate of Isiolo and who had promised to deliver cannot even sit down with the Senator. This is the only way to ensure that we deliver services to our people through a collaborative participatory approach that requires the leaders to sit down together, listen to each other and come up with an amicable working solution that addresses the issue of our people. As a House, we can only be able to execute our mandate of oversight if we put instruments in place that will ensure that we do not remain toothless.

It is not that he is being asked personal questions, but issues of Isiolo County on governance, accountability and transparency. Mr. Speaker Sir, it is the high time that we show the world and the country that the Senators of this country mean business. We want to ensure that services are delivered to them. The only way to do that is to bite very hard. You have been saying that we can request the Inspector-General of the National Police Service (NPS) to bring such a person before the Committee. We must do it because if we fail to, the role that this House has been given by the Constitution of Kenya will remain unexecuted just because we have arrogant people---"
