    "content": "I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to also stand in solidarity with our colleague, Sen. Dullo, who has suffered a sexist attack from a fellow leader in the same county. I would like this House to take note that sometimes last year when the Senate Standing Committee on CPAC, led by Sen. Kajwang,’ visited Isiolo County, certain things happened that were untoward and directly attributable to the governor. It should also be remembered that not many months ago, there was a presidential visit in Isiolo County. Again, certain things happened that were unbecoming of a leader of the stature of a governor, in the visit of the President in his county. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the latest direct attack on Sen. Dullo is not just an attack on her as a person, but is also an attack on women leadership in this country, and to some extent, this House. What bothers me most is that this attack is coming at a time that the Senate is grappling with the issue of the formula for sharing revenue to counties. Sen. Dullo, our colleague who is one of the highest-ranking Members of this House, coming from a small county called Isiolo, is taking the lead in persuading her colleagues to give more money to Isiolo County, so that the county can be viable. Here is a leader who is trying to fight for a county to send money to a governor who is attacking her on the basis of sex or gender. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like this House to perhaps think through how to deal with the Governor of Isiolo County. The starting point would be, perhaps for the Senator from Isiolo County to invoke Standing Order 110. We begin there, so that we do an Adjournment and just have a conversation about the Governor of Isiolo Couny and how we will deal with him as Senators. As I said, an attack on Sen. Dullo is an attack on all of us. I thank you."
