    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I wish to thank my Vice-Chairperson of the CPAC for his Statement. I remember you saying that this is the time for taking action and there is no time for lamenting. We have had an experience where some governors are taking cue from the Governor for Isiolo in various committees. That has to stop. I have been around for some time, but I have never seen a governor take a committee of the House to court just because of appearance. It has never happened. Secondly, some summonses have been issued to the Governor of Isiolo. There is also another one where the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare has instructed the IG of Police to arrest and bring him before the committee or the House. I hope that is going to work. If it does not, we will have proved the Governor of Isiolo right because he has been going around saying that there is nothing the Senate will do to him. Even if he fails to appear many times, the Senate will do nothing to him. That is impunity of the highest order. I have even been discussed at the Council of Governors (CoG) meetings that I am rogue. Let me be rogue because of doing my work. Before we went on recess, I raised a Statement on the Floor of this House. Let me be open. Ten members of staff from the county government of Isiolo sat in the boardroom with the governor and discussed how to eliminate me. I have a clip and photos of those members of staff. He has the audacity of telling members of the public and media houses that I am lying. He has been going around saying he knows everybody in the Government, including top officials in the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC). Therefore, nobody can do anything to him. This is a rogue governor who does nothing. He operates from Nairobi and he is never in Isiolo. Secondly, he has no respect at all for the Senate. We discussed this matter yesterday. The MCAs are in the governor’s pockets. We must have a solution to this problem where the Senate can act on rogue governors."
