    "content": "In our humble submission, the County Assembly has been able to demonstrate to the required standard that Gov. Waititu does not deserve to be a governor. He has abused his office for his own personal benefit. The evidence meets the standards set under Article 181 of the Constitution. We, therefore, urge that this House rules that he is not suitable to be a governor. I am going to cede my last few minutes to Mr. Muriuki who will address the Executive on--- The issue we want to raise with regards to the procurement is that the governors all received Executive Order No.2. Executive Order No. 2, which this House is also familiar with, made a specific provision and requirement that counties were to have a portal in which they were to upload all details, all contracts, all procurements, and the beneficiaries of those. In breaching those requirements, there was a reason. The reason why Gov. Waititu’s county did not have that portal is because if he did, then the people of Kiambu would be up in arms when they saw his family providing everything. In fact, when you look at the list of procurements that his family benefited from - which is in paragraph 29 of hon. Solomon Kinuthia Wambui’s list--- when you read this and you realize that this is one family, you would think that this is a conglomerate that is well known. This is because they are doing construction, supplying tires, supplying garbage skips, supplying first aid kits, water supply, garbage collection, and protective equipment. Before Gov. Waititu became the Governor, we should have heard about this big family business. Nobody had ever heard about it. The failure to provide that portal is because if they did, it would be very clear that the Governor was misusing public finances to benefit his family. For those reasons, we wish to urge that you find that the County Assembly has made its case. On behalf of the County Assembly and my colleagues here, I wish to thank the Senate and the Speaker for their patience."
