    "content": "Therefore, this is a warning to anybody, that the work of a county governor is a serious endeavour and undertaking. You are the small president of your people, and you represent the wishes and aspirations of the mama mboga on the ground. Therefore, you have to be in touch with these people. I know that the media plays a very critical role in trying to market us. Media can make or break you, but be a little bit more serious in the way in which you take up your job. This is because when you look at some of these allegations, much as they were not proven, it was also a question of; you did not fill that particular position. Basically, we can tell from this, that work is not happening in Taita-Taveta County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in short, we are a House of reason, and I think we have given a very good verdict. I want to join Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. and Sen. Murkomen in asking Gov. Samboja that in the same manner, vein and vigour, he should now withdraw his case and say that he has realised that the Senate is a House where people sit to reason. This is because his going to court is against the separation of powers. He also needs to understand that he cannot rule the County Government of Taita- Taveta alone; he needs everybody. He is my personal friend and we talk a lot, but he should now take matters seriously. Otherwise, when he comes back again, we will deal with him perpendicularly. Thank you."
