I think the Senate should in future look at that petition and allow or provide for an official window where residents of a county can be able to raise issues of governance and malpractices officially without each one of them having to compile a petition. That way, we can help the Senate to cut a lot of embezzlement of funds and malpractices within the counties. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."}
