    "content": "recommendations and apply themselves to the situations that they face on the ground, as far as devolution is concerned. Lastly, I have heard that the Committee wants to go back and have sessions with the Governor and the Senator, who is actually the leader who brought the Statement to this House. I wonder, what kind of appointment does the Committee need with the Senator of Nyamira County, to deal with the matter of Nyamira County Assembly? It never occurred to me that the Senator of Nyamira is so inaccessible that the Committee has got to make an appointment, take more than 45 days to have a sitting with him to discuss a crisis that is happening in Nyamira County. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a time has come that, all of us, including myself, must begin to take the business of this Senate a lot more seriously. For the Chairperson to put it on record that 45 days later, he is planning to meet the Senator of Nyamira County and discuss the issues of conflict in the County Assembly of Nyamira, is a slap on the basic intelligence of the people of Nyamira County and the Senators in this House. It should not be allowed to happen. There are some Statements that should not be made by chairpersons of committees. As I said, I do not want to impute any improper motive on anyone. However, before we seek to be respected by the national and county executives, as a Senate and committees of the Senate, we must respect ourselves. We must dignify ourselves before we ask other people to respect and treat us with dignity. With those remarks, I support."
