I hope that when he will be contributing, Sen. Orwoba, by your directive will be present in the House. She should know that a deputy governor should remain so because he is just a principal assistant. What I am saying is a statement of fact. It can only be different if the governor appoints the deputy governor as a County Executive Committee Member (CECM) in charge of roads or something else. Sen. Orwoba, there is no law that has provided for responsibilities and functions of a deputy The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

Cherarkey. In the architecture of our Constitution, as it is now, a deputy governor is a spare wheel that will only be useful when the main wheel of the car is not functional. Right now, there is no function that has been adduced to the office of a deputy governor. So, a deputy governor is just a principal assistant. Nothing more, nothing less."},{"id":1553221,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1553221/?format=json","text_counter":208,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.

Methu has grown wise after growing beard. However, I want to suggest that we do a harambee one of these fine days, especially on Thursdays, on a pay bill where we will raise money for him to get shaved by a barber. His beard has grown long and it needs to be shaved. I thank him for that information. He has reiterated what I was saying that a deputy governor should remain a deputy governor. Finally, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, allow me to say this, then give my colleagues an opportunity to say something. As they say, ‘ vitu kwa ground ni different.’ As I speak now, the Governor of Trans Nzoia County, Governor George Natembeya and Deputy Governor Philomena Bineah Kapkory, do not see eye to eye. So, things have gone back to default settings. It is actually side effects of tribal undertones. You will notice that the governor is creating tribal rift in Trans Nzoia County yet it is a cosmopolitan county. The governor is perpetuating tribal undertones in Trans Nzoia County. I challenge the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations to ensure that the Governor of Trans Nzoia County is held accountable of what he says in public. Our female colleagues should come out strongly because this is another form of femicide. A governor who is undermining a lady who is a deputy governor is promoting femicide in our country."}]}
