    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. I read this provision to avoid the very tempting argument that is likely to be made that: “Yes, there could have been malpractices in procurement, but it was not me, it was not my act, I did not participate, I did not sign anything, I did not call anyone, I did not procure anyone to do any job. This is the mischief that is sought to be cured by section 27(3). It obligates the Governor at his area of responsibility which is that he is the chief executive, the chairperson of the County Executive Committee (CEC). The question must be: What did he do in the face of these malpractices? If you evaluate and consider the Senate report which is in the record: In the matter of the Proposal to Remove Governor Wambora from Office, the report adopted on the 13th May, 2014, the Senate applied this particular standard. The Senate quoted and cited this legal provision in finding that in matters procurement, a governor has a direct role to ensure that there is compliance with the procurement procedures and regulations within his county.

The select 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."
