• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. While I thank the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations for the Statement, it is a tradition in this House and as a matter of courtesy that when a Committee is engaged in dealing with a Petition from a particular county, the Committee invites the Senator that represents the county on the issue so that the area Senator can attend and participate in the proceedings. That is what is in our Committee on Finance and Budget and the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. view
• 4 Jul 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been waiting to be invited by the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations in the event they listen to the Petition from Bungoma County which raised some very serious weighty issues of governance, probity, financial management and many others. The Chairperson has just reported that they met the petitioner today, yet they did not have the courtesy of inviting the distinguished Senator for Bungoma County to join them in hearing a Petition concerning the management of the devolved resources and affairs in the county that I represent. view
