    "content": "Hon. Speaker, it will be very bad if, for example, we do not follow the law. The Constitution has given us powers to ensure that if there are any problems in the counties, we deal with them according to the law. I know that in Isiolo County, there was an attempt to remove the Speaker. According to the law, the group that was trying to remove the Speaker did not have the required number. However, the county government is now using the jungle rule to lock the county assembly, so that, the county assembly does not transact any business on behalf of the people of Isiolo. We have sat and watched for the last three months. This is now a serious security problem. The communities are already charged. People even fought yesterday and I fear that if no action is taken with immediate effect, that county will go the way the Marsabit County went. So, I plead that as much as the Senate has slept on the job, at least, the Government institutions that are available should ensure that security is provided to the people of Isiolo and court orders are obeyed, so that as we look forward to ensuring that the issues are resolved, the both parties are protected and Government property is secure. The county government vehicles have been destroyed, offices vandalized and documents removed. These need to be safeguarded for the sake of this country."
