    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, aware that Isiolo County is one of the forty seven (47) county governments established by the Constitution of Kenya; cognizant of the fact that a county government comprises of a county executive and a county assembly; further aware that on 4th June, 2014, the Isiolo County Assembly resolved to impeach their Speaker; noting that on 16th June, 2014, the High Court of Kenya sitting in Meru reinstated the Speaker of Isiolo County Assembly, temporarily; further noting that the Isiolo County Assembly appealed against the said decision of the High Court, an appeal which has since been declined; concerned that the working relationship between the Speaker and most Members of the County Assembly of Isiolo has deteriorated, adversely affecting the Assembly in the discharge of its statutory mandate; noting that pursuant to Article 96 (1) of the Constitution of Kenya, the Senate represents the counties, and serves to protect the interests of the counties and their governments; the Senate directs the Sessional Committee on Devolved Government to expeditiously inquire into the matter with a view to solving the wrangles in the County Assembly and report within three (3) weeks."
