"content": "(Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Order, Sen. Pareno. Being a lawyer, I am sure you have read the Constitution. If a county has more than one Senator, the Constitution says there is the head of delegation, who is the elected Senator, and Members of the delegation who are nominated Senators. Once the head of delegation has been informed, it is upon them to do housekeeping. You cannot impose that to chairpersons of committees. The converse is that it is also not right for a committee or a chairperson to inform a Member of a delegation when the head of the delegation is not aware. It is a straightforward matter. If you plan to visit Nyandarua County, for example, it does not matter whether there are 10 Senators from the county. The head of delegation is Sen. Mwangi. Once he is informed, it is up to him to do internal housekeeping. As a head of a delegation, it is also good manners to inform your colleagues because when it comes to voting and you are not available, you rely on them to stand in for you. Therefore, it is good practice that they know. On that note, that matter lies there."
