• 12 Nov 2019 in Senate: Right from the beginning, it looked like very reasonable, practical and administrative Motion that, perhaps, did not have to go so deep. However, as I said, I am not a lawyer. Reading the prayer ‘that the Senate recommends that the National Treasury and other arms of Government work directly with the county governor while exercising functions of the county governor in order to facilitate effective function of county governments and the efficient delivery of services’, I stand guided.
