    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I also join my colleagues in congratulating the 10 petitioners from Isiolo County who have been bold enough to bring this matter to the attention of the Senate. From the Website of Living Goods Company, it describes itself as a non-profit company working in the health sector in many parts of the world. The petitioners have not questioned the ability or otherwise of the Living Goods Company to undertake this project. Therefore, I will go straight to the matters that the petitioners have raised. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in that Petition, there are questions of procedure; whether the deal as signed by the executive arm of the County Government of Isiolo was done in accordance with the Constitution and the law. This matter is not confined to the County Government of Isiolo but it affects many counties in this country where the executive think that they are a law unto themselves and they can do as they please on matters of public resources. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was listening carefully as Sen. Dullo was reading that Petition. Do we understand whether there was any role whatsoever of the County Assembly of Isiolo in this matter? If there was, she did not read that section of the Petition. If there is no role of the County Assembly of Isiolo, in this matter I would definitely say this is open fraud and it must be stopped before it is even rolled out. The second aspect that I wanted to hear, and I did not hear it being read is the issue of public participation. Before these petitioners complained that the procedure that was used is wrong, I would have wanted to hear what was the role of the public in The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
