    "content": "(i) THAT, since the Deputy Governor consistently absconded or deserted his duties to attend to his personal matters in United States of America (USA) at the expense of his national or county duties, the people of West Pokot have not gotten the value for money paid to the Deputy Governor since September 2017. (ii) THAT this matter has been raised with the Governor, Prof. Lonyangapuo, and the County Public Service Board and no satisfactory response or action has been issued or undertaken. (iii) THAT the matter is not before any investigative institution, constitutional body or before any court of law. Wherefore, your humble petitioners pray that the Senate- (1) Investigates the allegation of absence or desertion of national and county duties raised against the Deputy Governor of West Pokot County and establishes whether there was violation of the applicable laws of Kenya. (2) Establishes, recommends and advises on the tenable number of days that a deputy governor can stay out of the country or county, even if he or she was ordinarily on official duties. (3) Establish whether the County Government of West Pokot has sanctioned the absence of the Deputy Governor and legality of his continued stay outside the country. (4) Determine whether the position of a deputy governor is significant in management of county governments and whether Kenyans should continue to bear the burden of paying for offices which are perceived to be not useful judging from the case of West Pokot County. (5) Recommend appropriate deterrent action against the Deputy Governor and the County Government of West Pokot if it is established that there were violations against laws of the country with the aim of setting precedence. The Petitioners are Dennis Ruto, Augustine Mataluk and Clement Losianyang. I have countersigned."
