    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your permission, may I join you in welcoming the Deputy Governor of the County Government of Murang’a to the Senate this afternoon. I am sure this is the first time that he is sitting in the Speaker’s Gallery of the Senate. I welcome him to see in real life what we as Senators do towards protection of counties. I hope that he has watched satisfactorily the debate that emanated from the petition from the County of Nyamira about how seriously we take issues of corruption, and why we will not stop to deal with issues of corruption in the counties until counties become corruption free zones. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is important. I hope that we will see governors – I do not remember ever having seen a governor in the Speaker’s Gallery – come here more often. Something very interesting happened here. I think Sen. Wangari raised it; about a governor being summoned then coming with a heavy delegation of Members of County Assembly (MCAs.) That tells you very clearly about the negation of the duty to oversight by the county assemblies because if they are supporting the governor when an inquiry has been made against him on issues of impropriety in the county; and the people who are supposed to have the oversight role upon the governor, come with him to encourage him to withstand the trial and the inquiry by the Senate, then as Sen. Wangari said---"
