    "content": "(c) THAT, in so doing, the governor and officers of the Wajir County Government acted in violation of various provisions of the law among them The County Government Public Finance Management Act(No.8 of 2013), the Public Procurement and Disposal Act(Cap 412) and Chapter Six of the Constitution of Kenya on leadership and integrity; (d)THAT, the governor has failed to obey Article 27 of the Constitution, on Equality and Freedom from Discrimination by allocating more public resources and job opportunities to members of his clan and in the process disenfranchising other clans resident in Wajir County; (e)THAT, the governor has failed to employ qualified people in his government and this has led to the residents of Wajir County not getting value for the taxes paid; (f) THAT, the governor and the county government of Wajir have failed to adhere to the guidelines on remuneration and allowances of public officers as set by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) thus causing severe pilferage of finances at the county government; and (g) THAT, the above actions have been made possible by the weak oversight mechanisms prevailing at the Count Assembly of Wajir. The Petitioners confirm that they have made efforts to have these matters addressed by the Ethics and the Anti-Corruption Commission of Kenya (EACC) without success. The issues raised in the Petition are not subject to any suit pending in court. The petitioners petition the Senate to:- (a) Recommend the President to form a commission of inquiry to investigate the allegations made against the county government pursuant to Article 192 of the Constitution with a view to suspending the county government; (b) Review the reports of Auditor-General of the accounts of Wajir County for the year 2013/2014 and recommend appropriate action on the recommendation of that report; (c) Resolve that no further development funds are to be released to the Wajir County Government until the audit queries raised under the said report and in the Petition are addressed; and, (d) Order for a comprehensive human resource audit to be undertaken of the entire workforce of the county government including on the remuneration and allowances paid to the officers employed by the county government. The Petition is signed by all the six Petitioners. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No. 226, I shall now allow comments, observations or clarifications in relation to the Petition for not more than 30 minutes."
