why is it the seat to vie for ?
control of the county purse.
are you happy they hadn’t read it ?
It controls all the money in a county dumbo while all the senator does is to go and sit in the Senate to pass legislation for the counties. An Mp is even better off than a senator as he has control over CDF and in Kenya, as you may very well know, money is power.

Am just amazed and find it sad that top lawyers like Orengo, Kiraitu, etc want to vie for the Governors seat now and not before. These guys wrote the said Constitution. They should have known better.

(2) The Senate participates in the law-making function of Parliament by considering, debating and approving Bills concerning counties, as provided in Articles 109 to 113.
