What I was saying is that the Assembly needed to pass a resolution for there to be sittings outside the designated Chamber of the County Assembly of Nyamira. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in the findings of the Committee, in their interim report, the Committee has found that resolution was not granted. So, any place that the Assembly has sat, which has not gone through the process of designation, and any decisions and resolutions that have been made out of those sittings are null and void. That is a plain reading of the law. Secondly, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will be the last person to impute any improper motive on any person, leader or committee. However, I would like to take great exception to the way this matter has been handled by the Senate Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, with all due respect to the Committee. This is a very serious issue. This matter portends an existential threat to devolution as we know it. County assemblies are now borrowing from what is happening in Nyamira County. I stand here to inform this House that in the County Assembly of Machakos, something funny has happened. The Members of County Assembly (MCAs) have moved a Motion to impeach the Speaker. There is chaos in the Assembly and the Speaker from her office writes a letter closing the Assembly indefinitely. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we speak, the County Assembly of Machakos has been closed indefinitely by a letter from the Speaker, because she was facing impeachment. As I said, I do not want to impute any improper motive on any Senator, but this Committee plays such a crucial role in the success of devolution. Today, it is Nyamira and Machakos counties, but you do not know what is going to happen to Nyandarua County tomorrow or to Bomet County the day after tomorrow. The Senate Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations must make serious"},{"id":1564461,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1564461/?format=json","text_counter":288,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.
