I beg to move- THAT, the Senate adopts the Report of the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations and the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights on a Petition to the Senate by Mr. Laban Omusundi concerning restraining county governments from hiring law firms to represent them in court cases, laid on the Table of the Senate on Thursday, 3rd April, 2025. This report is a product of a Joint Sitting of two committees, convened following a petition by Mr. Laban Omusundi, a resident of Nakuru County. The petition was submitted to this House addressing concerns over restraining county government from hiring law firms to represent them in legal cases or provide legal services. The basis of Mr. Omusundi’s Petition is that we have in the county governments departments headed by county attorneys. According to him, those departments ordinarily should be expected to manage and deal with all legal issues that are subjects of legal challenges by county governments."
