    "content": "is supposed to discharge itself in a manner that will attract the best skills into the county governments for purposes of success. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I was in Kisii. I met two of my collegemates at the University of Nairobi who are advocates and now are in the county assembly. They know that we are speaking to the issue right now. In the County Assembly of Kakamega, the majority leader is a pharmacist. He is my agemate, circumcision mate and we went to school together. They know that we are speaking to these things. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to use this last point to appeal to governors. You are also the ones who are encouraging Sarah Serem-like behaviour. This is because governors no longer respect the MCAs. In fact, the Deputy Speaker of Kakamega County Assembly, Cleophas Malala, was assaulted outside the governor’s office by his askaris, because he is an opponent by way of oversight of the governor. He has recorded a statement at the police station. Can you imagine that an askari of a governor now thinks that the Deputy Speaker of the County Assembly of Kakamega, who also deserves to be given askaris, can be molested? Those people have not been arrested. We have to rise, as Members of this Senate, and protect our juniors, the MCAs. I want to call upon our other juniors, the Members of the National Assembly, to also join us in making sure that we rein in order to be in the country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
