    "content": "Assembly. The Senior Counsel, who is the Senator of Nyamira County, should have informed us. Perhaps he assumed that there is judicial notice of what is happening. Anything that has been passed, and the Senior counsel knows, is illegal. Any budget approvals that the Governor has passed in Nyamira County Assembly are illegal. Therefore, the dysfunctionality of Nyamira County Assembly is not by default, but by design, by the County Executive. Madam Temporary Speaker, the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) should know that the more they perpetuate the dysfunctionality of the County Assembly of Nyamira, they are undermining and killing devolution in the county. Therefore, the Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations must come out strongly and address this issue. I know MCAs have a challenge with the issues of salaries and welfare and the Ward Development Fund. However, we have given them financial autonomy as the MCAs. They, therefore should assist us by protecting devolution. Madam Temporary Speaker, I hope today you will direct, under Standing Order No.1, that by Tuesday next week, the Senate Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, under Standing Order No.56, must report the progress of what is happening in the County of Nyamira. I support."
