"content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I joined the debate midway as I was attending a funeral service. However, I have caught some of the sentiments expressed earlier and the statement brought by the Senator for Isiolo County. Some of the things happening in our counties are infuriating. It is impossible to believe that some county governors are running these institutions as if they were personal fiefdoms. I personally encountered the situation in Nyamira that the Senator has spoken about, and I almost lost my mind. I could not believe it. He was there. I could not believe that a section of Members of County Assembly (MCAs), only 12 MCAs, as we were told, were involved. I personally have the list of those MCAs and was shocked to find a member of ODM among them. She is nominated by ODM. This situation is unacceptable. The bulk of the 12 MCAs are from the governor's own party. He has set up a parallel house and decided to recognize only those from his party, who are sitting under a tree somewhere.
