    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I support all the Senators who have spoken before me in urging the Chair of the Committee on Devolved Government that the Senate should not participate in that forum. We need to ask ourselves what came out of the first conference and how much was spent. What happened in Kisumu was more of a show of might by the governors. The Senate Minority Leader was there and could not even be recognized. In fact, there was no seat reserved for him and other Senators. The governors chest-thump yet we are the people who protect and provide for them. Instead of them organizing a forum where they can explain to us the challenges they are going through, they try to show how powerful they are. Last year our President was in Meru and there was a major showdown regarding who is powerful in Meru. Of course, everybody knows how powerful Sen. Kiraitu is there. Now that Chair of the Council of Governors is inviting all governors and Senators to Meru, I want to believe that this will be a forum for the governors to campaign for the Governor of Meru and show the Senators how powerful they are. They are using the money that we allocated them to campaign for re-election. The Chairman of the Committee on Devolved Government needs to tell us how much was used by the governors in the last forum. We also need to know where those funds came from. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
