    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to protest in the strongest terms possible. The core responsibility of this Senate is to protect the interests of county governments that we represent. I want to urge the Chairperson to take a little bit more seriously matters raised in this House. I remember in the previous dispensation, Ministers used to give business of the House precedence. The use of words like the ‘answer has not been signed’ would never arise. You can ask Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri whom we were Ministers together. We were given clear instructions by the President that anything coming from Parliament must be given precedence. The Constitution also says so. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chairperson is behaving as if the questions I raised require rocket science to answer. This is a matter regarding all our counties. I raised very pertinent issues that are affecting all of us in the counties. This is in regard to disbursement of funds to our counties."
