This Motion comes at a time when for some reason governors have sought not to read the Constitution, understand it and appreciate the powers of the Senate. It comes at a time when governors have intentionally refused to acknowledge and accept summons sent to them by our committees. It also comes at a time when their own houses are burning at the grassroots. Like the Swahili saying goes – and I quote – “ usione simba amenyeshewa ukafikiri nipaka”---"}
