    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. Pursuant to Standing Orders No.220(1)(a) and 225(2)(a), I wish to present before the Senate a petition from 12 residents of Vihiga County who are Members of the County Assembly (MCAs). The petition concerns various grievances against the County Executive and the County Assembly of Vihiga. Before I read the Petition, I want to bring to your attention and the attention of the House that the version of the petition that I am reading is not the original Petition from the petitioner. It is an abridged version done by the Office of the Clerk, in consultation with the Office of the Speaker. This is a shorter form of the original petition. Secondly, it was also signed by approximately 1,500 residents in addition to the 12 MCAs. However, the signatures were rejected because they were not on a headed letterhead. The material allegations contained in the said Petition are as follows: (1) THAT following a huge outcry in 2015 over non-payment by the County Government of Vihiga to contractors and suppliers of various goods and services to the County Government, the Vihiga County Assembly established an ad hoc Committee to investigate the matter and report back to the County Assembly with its findings."
