has no problem at all apart from the few elected leaders who have some issues. I sat with the Njuri as I said, the Members of Parliament (MPs), the former Cabinet Secretary of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries and the County Assembly leadership. The only person that I did not have a chance to sit with was the Deputy Speaker of this House.

There is progress because when I was here the first time, I had only one MCA. In the second impeachment Motion, I had nine of them. I now have 23 MCAs on my side. That is great progress to me, bearing in mind the political interference that has been going on and the intimidation of MCAs by the same leaders. I have tried my best and I believe as I continue, more will come on board because I am doing a lot of civic education to show the community that they should not disregard the leadership of a woman just ...

Asante sana Seneta. Nilipotoka hapa wakati wa Impeachment Motion ya kwanza na Seneti ikaniambia nitafute njia ya kufanya kazi pamoja na watu wa vyama vingine, nilimtafuta Bi. Linda, aliyekuwa anawania kuwa naibu gavana wa Linturi wakati wa Kutafuta uongozi. Nikamwabia tufanye kazi pamoja. Wakati nilimtafuta, sikuwa na roho mbaya. Hakuwa amenikampeinia na hatukuwa tunajuana, lakini kwa sababu nilitaka kuleta nyumba yote na Wameru wote pamoja, nikamchukua hata kama alikuwa mpinzani wangu. After one year, alikuwa na kazi nyingi sana maana ni wakili na alikuwa anafanya kazi zake. Kwa hivyo, ilikuwa vigumu kumpata. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report ...

kulikuwa na wakati alikuwa anatafuta kiti kwa Law Society of Kenya (LSK) na akawa hapatikani kabisa. Nilimuita kwa ofisi yangu na tukaongea. Nilimwambia kwamba, kwa sababu Kaunti ya Meru ina changamoto nyingi na kuna mambo mengi yanayohitaji advisory, aje awe karibu na mimi. Aliniambia hapatikani. Hivyo basi, nilimwambia kama hapatikani na kuna maneno mengi ambayo anapaswa kuhusishwa, tukakubaliana ya kwamba atatoka kwa hiari yake, lakini baadaye alikataa. Nikaona ni vyema nitafute mtu mwingine ama nimusimamishe kazi ndio Kaunti ya Meru iweze kuendelea vizuri. Sina ubaya wowote na yeye.

Asante sana . The labelling of the maternity was just done less than a month ago. We had anticipated that we will have equipment, so that we the maternity could be functional, but due to the budget constraints, we did not make it for the last one month. I believe in the coming two or three weeks, the maternity will be ready for use. My CECM for health visited the place and other places because we have more than 230 health facilities in Meru and that is one of them. I agree that we have small issues but we the ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have not reported any economic sabotage to the police because this is kind of political, fueled by external forces to sabotage my administration and the good work that I do. I would like the hon. Senators of this House to know that the mwananchi kwa ground has no issue with the way I run Meru County.

sworn that I will never have peace in that county and they must keep me busy with other things because of the 2027 politics. There is nothing more or less. It is only the 2027 politics that are being played by the MCAs who are being used by the political leaders across Meru County.

Thank you. I have made a lot of effort since the last impeachment. The first one was providing the hon. MCAs the ward fund for projects in every ward to the tune of Kshs33 million per ward. Number two is involving them to be part and parcel of my tours to the ground, so that at least they can assist in participating and knowing what is ailing the community for us to work together. The relationship between myself and other leaders, especially the governors, is good. I have no issues with the other leaders, apart from a few leaders from ...

Thank you, Senator. Everything in the county is working apart from politics. In terms of development, Meru County has been ranked among the five best-performing counties in Kenya. We have no issues with even absorbing the budget. We have been ranked with 79 per cent.
