"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was expected to bring a Statement in response to a request by the Senator for Narok on the affairs of collection of revenue at the Maasai Mara Triangle. I have made very serious head wins to the extent that the public can start thinking that our Committee is not up to it. I thought I should use this point of order to clarify that we have exhausted the three invitations that we gave the governor. We have further offered him an opportunity to host us for purposes of clearing the matters that were raised, but he has declined. We have today issued summons with the attendant consequences. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason why I chose to make this statement is because refusal by governors to appear before our Committee attracted a court process that was decided in our favour. We would like the country to know that the Governor of Narok is defying this Senate and the ruling of the court. He has been joined in those bad manners by the Governor of Kakamega. We have summoned both of them. I thank you. I ask and request Sen. Ntutu to be patient. We hope the governor will honour the summons."
