    "content": "Finally, Madam Temporary Speaker, the Committee would wish to move the House to agree with it that the next time we are having Senate Mashinani anywhere else, the governor of that county should not be excused. The Governor of Kitui indicated that she was busy hosting the Senate. Since I came to Kitui, I have only seen her at the Speaker’s Gallery. I have not seen her here or in meetings. I did not see her at dinner at the Senator’s home. Therefore, I am wondering at what point she was hosting Senators for her to be so busy that she cannot appear before the Senate to account. It will set a very dangerous precedent, if governors are absent when we are having these events. When we were with you in Uasin Gishu County, we had a wonderful engagement with the Governor, the governors of West Pokot and Baringo counties. Let us not send a message that governors can chose when they want to appear and when not to. One of the governors wrote to us suggesting a suitable date and place for our meeting. It is not for them to choose; they have 365 days to spend the Kshs316 billion that we approved on Tuesday. We are just asking for one day out the 365 days for them to come and account. Let us not excuse, or exclude host governors from appearing."
