    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in all this, you will see that there is a lot of money from the taxpayer’s coffers that is used by both the aggrieved party and the other party for litigation. We do not have time or the money in this country to waste running around courts. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the County Assembly appealed to the High Court in Nairobi, where they wanted the Speaker to step aside so that they can resolve their issues. Clearly, this was actually dismissed. As I speak now, the county is at a standstill and since the inauguration of the County Assembly in Isiolo, we do not have even one Bill that has been passed in that particular county. This clearly shows that there is a critical issue that we really need to deal with. Once again, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are petitions against individual MCAs which are actually making these MCAs even have sleepless nights. Their personal security is at stake because everybody sees them as a threat. Clearly, the position of this House is to protect county assemblies, and I think as a Senate, we are failing in this duty."
