    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a Personal Statement pursuant to Standing Order No.52 (1). As a Senator, my constitutional responsibility is to serve the people of Isiolo County, uphold transparency and ensure accountability in all county government operations. I am constitutionally tasked with exercising oversight over county government functions to safeguard the interests of the people of Isiolo County, including ensuring prudent and responsible management of resources. This responsibility has come with significant challenges, most notably threats to my life and unwarranted interference by certain individuals within the county government. I wish to bring the following to the attention of this House - (1) I have credible information that plans are underway by some individuals aiming to obstruct my access to Isiolo County. These plans are an attempt to prevent me from performing my oversight role effectively and hinder my engagement with the people that I represent; (2) My staff and supporters have faced continuous harassment, including confrontation by hired goons and repeated summons by security agencies in Isiolo intended to intimidate and dissuade them from supporting my work. Such tactics are alarming and have hampered my staff's ability to perform their duties. (3). Yesterday, 30th October, 2024, a meeting was held and attended by 10 county government employees, where discussions were centered on planning an attempt on my life. This conversation allegedly included plans for my assassination, posing a very real and serious threat to my life. I am, therefore, deeply concerned for my well-being. Mr. Speaker, Sir, a Petition has also been filed against me at the High Court in Isiolo aimed at destabilizing, preventing my work and tarnishing my reputation as a public servant. This adds to the challenges that I face in discharging my constitutional oversight The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
