In their Petition, the petitioners have raised a number of grievances relating to the Nandi County Government, among them:- (a) THAT the Nandi County Executive has failed to facilitate public communication and access to information by the public as required under Article 35 of the Constitution and Sections 93, 94, 95 and 96 of the County Governments Act No.17 of 2012. (b) THAT the County Executive has failed to establish a County Budget and Economic Forum for County Budget Consultation Process as required under Article 10 of the Constitution and Section 137 of the Public Finance Management Act No.18 of 2012. (c) THAT the County Assembly has failed to facilitate public participation in carrying out its mandate including the consideration of Bills before the Assembly as well as in the County Budget making process. (d) THAT the County Executive has failed to put in place an appropriate mechanism for provision of civic education in the county as required under Sections 98, 99, 100, and 101 of the County Governments Act. (e) THAT the County Executive has presided over corrupt practices, wastage of public funds and abuse of office particularly in procurement of goods and services and in construction projects being carried out at the county. The petitioners, therefore, pray that the Senate undertakes an investigation into the matters raised in the petition and recommends appropriate action thereon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No. 226 I shall now allow observations or clarifications in relation to the Petition for not more than 30 minutes."
