The first one is to the Governor and his lawyer. Why, of all the CEC members that you have, out of the 10 members, I can see nine men and one woman. This is in clear contravention of Article 29(8) of the Constitution. Second is on the rent. I had asked this question earlier in the morning but I will repeat. Why did the County Government do renovations on a private property amounting to Kshs29.1 million and go ahead and pay rent of Kshs10 million and why the County Government did not see it necessary to recoup the rent from what it had already expended on? Finally, just like Sen. (Prof.) Lesan asked, could you make clarifications? Why was valuation done one year after the lease had already been issued? The last question is in regard to a clarification on the actual amount paid to Karson Photo House. Was it Kshs14 million and some cents or Kshs29 million for the renovations? 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."}
