    "content": "court. Why should the Senate be feared so much that it is easier to rush to the court and even seek the dissolution of a county government? Madam Temporary Speaker, as long as the Senate is not allowed to play its role, unfortunately, we stand to see so many cases like this of Makueni. As long as elected leaders in counties do not sit together - the Constitution says there must be participation, inclusiveness, consultation and so on. In matters of running counties, elected leaders, including Senators, Members of the National Assembly and MCAs are not involved. They do not sit together and there is no forum. I seek for a day that there will be a legal provision that compels all leaders in the county to sit and agree. A boardroom situation will solve most of these problems. Right now, since there is no forum for leaders to sit in a boardroom situation, issues are being discussed in the press, in funerals and other fora and this is not in the interest of the public. This is not what Kenyans wanted when they enacted the Constitution. Madam Temporary Speaker, we looked at the names, I am a Member of the Committee, and we are satisfied that they are qualified."
