    "content": "good and they are supposed to be used for wrapping meat. It is important that they remove themselves from that kind of image. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Nakuru County has 11 sub-counties and my engagement with the county is known by the residents. I believe that I had competitors and if 60 people from my competitors are asked about my performance, it will be negative, so it is wrong. Next time they do it and I would request that they repeat, they should ensure that they look at a wider bracket, the county as a whole and Senators as people who represent smaller counties while others represent bigger counties, so the ratio is supposed to be different. I do not believe that I was placed where I am supposed to be. The day that I was sworn-in as the Senator for Nakuru County, I realised that the Government had not made provision for the movement of my county office workers. I dipped into my pocket and bought a vehicle worth Kshs2.5million to help my officers to move around the county. I would want to be challenged by any other Senator who may have done that, that early. I did that to ensure that my engagement with my people is adequate. There is nowhere where my presence was required and I was not represented. On affairs that affect my people, they know very well that I am quite accessible. I am normally accessible for 24 hours. The people of Nakuru County know that. I do not know what else they would want. I do not know what parameters and methodology were used to apparently bring out these results. As I conclude, the final comment that I can make is that, the report is inaccurate. I have received calls and text messages from the County saying that, that is absolutely wrong. Therefore, I support the Senator and say that that the Daily Nation is supposed to apologize and ensure that they do not mislead wananchi in future. This House is doing its best to ensure that our counties are running properly. Even the dispute that is between this House and the National Assembly has resulted from the fact that the Senate wants more funds to be given to counties. It is also this House that is pushing for issues touching even on emergency funds. Specifically, some of us could have been involved in pushing in some of those figures. So, it is important that credit be given where it belongs. I support the Senator."
