"content": "serious petition to deal with. I am sure that when we meet them at the bar in the evening and at the lounge, we will tell them that there is a serious matter in Isiolo County. This is a county that has two Senators. It has a Senator who has been elected by the people and a delegate who has been appointed by the parties through the gender rule. So, unlike my county, this is a county which has two Senators. My good friend, the Member for Isiolo County, and I want to agree with here, because I am also aware of the problem the people of Isiolo County are going through that today, they cannot enter the compound of the county government. So, the only issue that the National Assembly can deal with is a matter of security and has to do with the Committee on Administration and National Security or even myself. I can even take that responsibility and talk to the national security to do their bit. But the matter on the Isiolo County Assembly and the county government lies within Article 96 of the Constitution. This House has a lot of work to do including the many Statements and Bills before us. So, hon. Speaker, we will indulge you to help us maybe send a message. You can turn this Statement into a message and send it to your colleague in the Senate that because we represent the people, you got the cries of the people of Isiolo, but your hands are tied. He can ask his 47 elected Senators, now that they have finished with the County Allocation Bill and I am sure the other business that they have is just the normal business which has no time line, that we need to help the Member for Isiolo County and make sure that the people of Isiolo access the fruits of devolution."
