Meru Senator Kathuri Murungi
By PSCU
Meru County Senator Kathuri Murungi is seeking for a statement from the Senate Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations on the alarming closure and threatened closure of the county assemblies across the country.
In his request, the lawmaker wants the committee to give measures being taken to curb the alarming adjournment of County assemblies across the country, with so far Narok, Mandera, Kericho, Embu, Tana River, Kisii, Marsabit, Makueni, Wajir, Garissa, Mombasa, Kwale, Nakuru, Kajiado, Nyamira, Laikipia, West Pokot and Samburu shutting down.
The Senator further wants the committee to state the measures being put in place to ensure that the shutdowns will not affect the functions of the County government and its ability to deliver key services to the people and also give measures they are taking to ensure the issues raised by MCAs are addressed to avoid the cases of the perennial downing of tools by the members of the county assembly to ensure that devolution works.
