Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for giving me this chance to add some voice to this important Motion. Before I proceed, I would like to thank my newly elected Chairperson and thank him for bringing this Motion which is very important. The education staff is present at the county level. We normally see the county education officer in charge of adult education, but their presence is not felt. This is due to lack of clear policy guidelines on recruitment, staffing, punishment and motivation. As you are aware, majority of the people in the pastoralist community are illiterate. ...

Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion. I think the Constitution is clear that the Governors are the Chief Executive Officers of the counties and ignorance of the law is no defence. Governors must take responsibility in their counties. As I recommend for the exit of the Governor, I also recommend that the sub-ordinate staff should also step aside until further investigations are done.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Vice-Chair for responding to the Statement I sought a long time ago. In fact, I almost forgot about it. If I heard right, the Vice-Chair said that this issue was a priority of the Government since 2006. Therefore, if this matter was a priority, why has it not been achieved seven years down the line? I would also like to state that security is a sensitive issue. If the various sectors took their issues very seriously, the tender could not have been cancelled. I would like to ...
