In the Petition, the petitioners state:- (a) The county government of Nyamira has failed to follow procurement laws and procedures in the award of tenders for various infrastructural projects being undertaken in the county; (b) Significant amount of public funds have been lost or misappropriated either by non-implementation or during the implementation of the said infrastructure projects; and (c) The county government has unlawfully made payments of allowances either to trips that were never undertaken or to persons who are not eligible for payment of such allowances during foreign trips. Consequently, the petitioners pray that the Senate investigates this matter and makes appropriate recommendations to redress the situation. Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No.226, I, therefore, allow comments, observations, or clarifications in relation to this petition for not more than thirty minutes."
