Hon. Speaker, I think Harambees are very important to our community. I know that after elections and the campaigns, quite a number of people were elected on the basis that they had done a lot of things for their communities. We know that we do not have enough even after devolution, or p esa mashinani, at the county level. We do not have enough health facilities; we do not have enough schools or enough bursaries for everyone. So, most of the time, different people approach those who are kind to support them. I think the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission needs ...

their money to Harambees . If other State officers out there who are not Members of Parliament hold Harambees and they happen to be our competitors, they should be stopped if they are using their offices, Government machinery and money.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. From the mood of the House, I think we are ready for the question. I wish to request you to put the question.

Thank you, hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the running and management of different arms of county governments and specifically the County Government of Isiolo.

Hon. Speaker, the Constitution envisages a situation where the different arms of the county governments work in consultation and collaboration. However, there have been difficulties in the day-to-day running of Isiolo County Assembly for the past three months. This has impeded the normal running of the Assembly and by extension the County Government. It has also been noted that the Secretary and by extension the county executive have been involved in ensuring that debacle including the engagement on local security officers to block entry in the county assembly of the Speaker, the Clerk and the staff. This is likely to ...

peaceful co-existence in the county. In the Statement, he should inquire into and report on, the steps being taken by concerned National Government institution including the Ministry of Devolution and Planning, the Transitional Authority as well as Parliament to ensure that Isiolo residents continue enjoying the benefit of devolution as envisaged in the Constitution. Thank you, hon. Speaker.

Yes hon. Speaker, this issue has been on for the last three months and we have Senate in that county. If they have slept on their job, I cannot leave my people to suffer, so it is my right to stand and talk on behalf of the county, operations have been paralyzed and the communities are waiting. One thing that I am also asking for, is to ask the relevant Government bodies. I know devolution is very difficult to implement but Isiolo people are waiting for the services. So, how do we ensure as the National Assembly and the Ministries ...

Hon. Speaker, in the removal of the Speaker, there is a court order that has given the Speaker order of stay, hence we expect for example the county government to continue running and to give to the community the benefits that are required of what is supposed to be given to them by the county government. So, what I am just asking for, is that, if this continues, it is going to be an issue of conflict, it is going to bring a lot of security issues and we cannot sit and watch a county that has failed its mandate ...

Hon. Speaker, it will be very bad if, for example, we do not follow the law. The Constitution has given us powers to ensure that if there are any problems in the counties, we deal with them according to the law. I know that in Isiolo County, there was an attempt to remove the Speaker. According to the law, the group that was trying to remove the Speaker did not have the required number. However, the county government is now using the jungle rule to lock the county assembly, so that, the county assembly does not transact any business on ...
