    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to request for a Statement regarding intergovernmental relations, governance and management of county governments. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.45 (2)(b) to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Sessional Committee on Devolved Government regarding the role of the Senate and its engagement with county governments in view of the myriad challenges facing county governments which manifest themselves in the form of wrangles, mismanagement of county resources and conflicts between the county executive and county assemblies, among others. In the Statement, the Chairperson should:- (1) Explain the mechanisms that the Committee has put in place to engage with the county governments and enhance intergovernmental relations; and, (2) State what the Committee is doing or plans to do in order to create a platform for all Senators to engage county governments to discuss the ever emerging issues of contention and impediments facing county governments with a view to coming up with modalities for addressing the challenges. Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is the first Statement I wish to seek. I have another request. Should I proceed or wait for this to be prosecuted?"
