It is a concern to all of us that almost the entire executive will be in for it. We know how long these cases take. It will take so long before these cases are concluded. It is important that the Senate explores alternatives so that the people of Samburu County continue to receive services, including development.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have been to Samburu County, and it is just like many of our counties where there are no hospitals or educational institutions.

However, when such an accusation is made against so many of you, there is some truth in it. We are The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
