"content": "County Assembly approved a Motion to remove from office, by impeachment, Hon. (Dr.) Robert Monda, the Deputy Governor of Kisii County; AND FURTHER, WHEREAS by a letter dated 1st March, 2024 and received in the Office of the Speaker of the Senate on Saturday, 2nd March, 2024, the Speaker of the Kisii County Assembly informed the Speaker of the Senate of the approval of the Motion by the County Assembly and further forwarded to the Speaker of the Senate, documents in evidence of the proceedings of the Assembly; AND WHEREAS, pursuant to section 33(3) (b) of the County Government Act and Standing Order 80(1) (b) and (9) of the Senate, the Senate by resolution, may appoint a special committee comprising 11 of its Members to investigate the matter; NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Section 33(3) (b) of the County Government Act, and Standing Order 80(1) (b) and (9), the Senate resolves to establish a special committee comprising the following Senators: (1) Sen. Seki Lenku Ole Kanar, MP; (2) Sen. David Wafula Wakoli, MP; (3) Sen. Mariam Sheikh Omar, MP; (4) Sen. Joe Nyutu, MP; (5) Sen. James Ekomwa Lomenen, MP; (6) Sen. (Prof.) Margaret Kamar, EGH, MP; (7) Sen. Okiya Omtatah, MP; (8) Sen. Beth Syengo, MP; (9) Sen. Issa Juma Boy, MP; (10) Sen. Shakila Abdallah, CBS, MP; (11) Sen. Crystal Asige, MP; to investigate the proposed removal from office of Hon. (Dr.) Robert Monda, the Deputy Governor of Kisii County and pursuant to Standing Order 80 (2), to report to the Senate, within 10 days of its appointment, on whether or not it finds the particulars of the allegations against the Deputy Governor to have been substantiated. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I repeat a phrase that I have said many times in my experience as a Senator. I have not found a way that I would say is either perfect or imperfect in the consideration of an impeachment hearing. Both methods as provided for in the County Government Act and our Standing Order, either by way of a Special Committee or by Plenary, are effective. They each have their own defects and weaknesses. Therefore, it is for the House to elect. This is a proposal from the Senate Business Committee (SBC) once considered. However, I reiterate that on this matter, the final decision lies with the Members of this House. If the Members do elect as we have proposed to go the way of the Committee, I will be glad to proceed with that particular business as proposed. If they elect otherwise, we are ready for duty as well. This is a straightforward matter. It is not my decision alone, it is a decision of the SBC and our final decision is by the House."
