    "content": " Hon. Senators, we have a number of Petitions. I was just wondering whether we should deal with all of them or not. I will propose that I read them out and you can contribute to all of them collectively. I think that will be the best approach. ALLEGED BREACH OF THE CONSTITUTION AND OTHER LAWS BY THE COUNTY EXECUTIVE AND COUNTY ASSEMBLY OF MACHAKOS Hon. Senators, one of them is a petition to the Senate by residents of Machakos County concerning alleged breach of the Constitution and other laws by the County Executive and County Assembly of Machakos. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Orders No.220(1)(a) and 225(b), I hereby report to the Senate that the petition has been submitted, through the Clerk, by 24 residents of Machakos County concerning alleged breach of the Constitution and other laws by the County Executive and the County Assembly of Machakos. As you are aware, under Article 119(1) of the Constitution, every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including enacting, amending or repealing any legislation. In the petition, the petitioners state that there have been numerous breaches of the law in the operations of the Machakos County Executive and the Machakos County Assembly, a situation which has led to misappropriation and misapplication of public funds by the said entities. Hon. Senators, among the grievances raised by the petitioners are the following."
