    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order. I have just perused through a report that has been tabled before the House by the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. It is a progress report on the operational and leadership crisis affecting the County Assembly of Nyamira. I rose on a point of order on 1st of April and sought the indulgence of the committee to deal with four issues. I have had the opportunity to peruse through. I thank the Chairperson of the Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations Committee and his members for the attention that they gave this matter and for the speed at which they have tabled the report before the House. On behalf of the people of Nyamira, I want to thank the Chairperson and the committee, especially on the resolution that states that the sittings of the county assembly should henceforth be held at the county assembly building opposite Kenya Industrial Estate, Nyamira. I am hopeful that the people of Nyamira will appreciate the intervention of the Senate and that we will not have two parallel sittings henceforth in the County Assembly of Nyamira. That is a really big milestone for me and for the people of Nyamira. This dispute has been ongoing since October last year. I brought it here on 1st of April and the Senate of the Republic of Kenya has moved with speed and resolved the issue. I am sure this will be a matter that will be applauded by the citizens of the County Government of Nyamira. Now, there are a number of issues that are purely legal that may not be resolved by the Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations Committee. If you read my statement, I sought the committee to tell the House the legal status and effects of the sittings that were held outside the official premises of the county assembly. That issue The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
