    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that we invited Gov. Mwangi wa Iria to the Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources to answer on water supply in Murang’a, because there was a crisis there. He refused to appear before the Committee and we decided to summon him, which he defied. Therefore, we decided to write to the IG, so that he could bring Mwangi wa Iria to the Senate to answer the same questions. Instead of the IG bringing him to the Senate, he wrote a letter and said that he needs a warrant from the court to arrest and bring Gov. Mwangi Wa Iria before the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is arrogance of the highest order. Gov. Mwangi wa Iria should know that we are elected the way he is. In fact, I got more votes than my Governor in my county, and, therefore, we should learn to respect each other. In any case, we are demanding that this same Governor be brought before the Committee, so that he can answer questions pertaining to the shortage and non-supply of water in Murang’a. The IG should also be educated on law, to know that he does not need any document from the court to arrest Gov. Mwangi wa Iria and bring him before the Committee."
