• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Clearly, Makueni was never suspended but it was the wish of the then Governor that Makueni was to be suspended because he thought it was ungovernable. However, looking at the Constitution then and now, we must absolve ourselves to clearly say that if we live the moment of the Constitution, it will be hard to have the county government dissolved unless there are clear issues that are there pointing to the fact that the county government is not running primarily within the national interests or for the good of the people of that particular county. view
• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, under Article 192, the President is given power to suspend a county government under certain conditions. However, it also goes further to state that when the commission reports to the President, he is at liberty to look at the law itself to be convinced if the commission might have overstepped or gone beyond the boundary that was laid for a county not to be suspended. view

• 19 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: The other area that is given here and that Hon. Members have alluded to is the issue of timeline.
