I must say that they are undergoing very difficult moments in their lives. Therefore, it is very important for this House, through your leadership, to give direction. However, the big question is that we have an understanding pertaining to resolutions of this House. One, how binding is a Motion passed in this House?

Madam Deputy Speaker, most of the governors have retreated into cocoons and groups that are fleecing our counties. A case in point is my county of Kakamega, whereby if you look at the companies which have qualified to take up tenders in the county government, you will see a certain definite pattern where some companies are gaining more than others. Madam Deputy Speaker, in Kakamega County, if you do ... view
• 2 Jun 2021 in Senate: . Such tenders should be given to the youth and women of this country so that we can stimulate their capacity to undertake bigger tenders. Unfortunately, in Kakamega County, those tenders were given to companies which have been doing tenders worth Kshs100 million. This is sad. I want to inform governors of this Republic that devolution was meant to benefit the local mwananchi on the ground. It was also meant to benefit and increase capacity in our counties.
