Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Murkomen has consistently used the word liars and Members of this House cannot be accused of being liars. I do not expect he was referring to Members of this House. He could have been referring to people who are not here. Is it in order for him to accuse persons who are not here of dishonesty knowing very well that they have no right to defend themselves?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, he is making very good arguments and I like the line of his argument except his continued reference to liars. Who is that liar? Is it hon. William Ruto, hon. Raila Odinga or hon.

The fact that the matter came to the Senate indicates that there has been some breakdown in terms of representation and oversight of projects that are being undertaken by the County Government. The Governor of the Nairobi City County is now substantively in office. There are no more excuses ...
