    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, there is a lot of misunderstanding on this last statement, where the governors and their teams together with the MCAs say that; we should only follow the money that has come from the national Government officers to the counties, and that is all. They fail to realise that this is the money that we have given to the county governments and not the national Government officials in the counties. It is so key that the Constitution is read and every Article that has been put there to support devolution is fully understood. It calls upon the Senate that whatever duty we have been given, we do it honestly and diligently the way we have done. People are citing whatever is happening in the ‘lower House’. That is none of our business here. However, if we meet them out there, we will tell them that it is good that they learn some leadership lessons from the Senate, so that we work together. Madam Temporary Speaker, with regard to the suitability of the persons stated here, I was of the same opinion with Sen. Orengo. We are loading some person here whose duty is already cut out; excess problems in NPS. However, I have read the interrogation in details and I now know that the Committee that speaks on our behalf, the Committee on Devolved Government, has thoroughly inquired into that issue. We only hope that he gives his best. He said that he knows how to multitask and that he has performed many duties. Today, I heard that some people were complaining in Baringo County, that the people from Tiaty of Pokot origin have migrated to some region in Baringo. There is a lot of tension and people are fighting. I personally went there on Sunday. When I went there and met the herdsmen, they told me that they went there because last year it never rained in that part of the county. They said that as soon as God gives them rain, they would go back. Some people are playing politics about it, including what I heard yesterday on"
