    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to thank the Committee for doing a good job and making these recommendations to us within a very short time which was at their disposal. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to make reference to a statement which was read from this Report by Sen. Anyang’Nyong’o of Kisumu, which is contained in page 48 of the Report. From that, you can see that the Committee itself has described a situation in Embu County as being toxic: “Toxic relations between a section of the County Assembly Members and the Executive.” I am very concerned about that relationship because as a consequence of that relationship, we are told that there is confusion, disarray and lack of synergy among t he various players in Embu. This suggests the existence of an unhealthy, hostile working arrangement or environment. What is the cause? We do not know. Could it be intensity of the differences between the various clans in that county? Could it be witch-hunting? It could be anything. So, I am appealing to the players in Embu – the leadership – to try and sort that out through dialogue and engagement because the people of Embu deserve better than that. Coming to the substance of the Report, Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question which this Senate must answer, in my opinion, is whether the Governor of Embu passes the leadership and integrity test. In my own opinion, he does not."
