"content": "Can you resume your seat, hon. Senator? So, we will interrupt that debate and resume after this Communication. Hon. Senators, I have a Communication to make. Debate will resume after this Communication. Hon. Senators, as you are aware, the Senate Majority Leader moved the Motion on Order No.9 on today's Order Paper for the establishment of a special committee to investigate the proposed removal from office by impeachment of Hon. (Dr.) Robert Monda, the Deputy Governor of Kisii County. The Motion was not seconded. Therefore, it was withdrawn pursuant to Standing Order No.70(1), which states: “The question on any Motion shall not be proposed unless it shall have been Seconded, and any Motion that is not Seconded shall be deemed to have been withdrawn and shall not be moved again in the same session unless with the permission of the Speaker.” Hon. Senators, as I communicated earlier by way of Message, on the resolution of the Kisii County Assembly made on Thursday, 29th February, 2024, for the removal from office by impeachment of Hon. (Dr.) Robert Monda, the Deputy Governor of Kisii County, Section 32(3)(a) of the County Government Act, and Standing Order No.80(1)(b) of the Senate provides that the Senate may; i) By resolution appoint a special committee comprising 11 of its Members to investigate the matter; or, ii) investigate the matter in plenary. The Motion having been withdrawn, pursuant to Standing Order No.70(1), the route of a special committee is abandoned, and that now implies that the Senate will investigate the proposed removal from the office by the impeachment of Hon. (Dr.) Robert Monda, the Deputy Governor of Kisii County in Plenary, pursuant to Section 33(3)(a) of the County Government Act and Standing Order No.80(1)(b)(ii) Hon. Senators, at its meeting, held on Tuesday, 5th March, 2024, the Senate Business Committee considered the provisional dates for this investigation in the event that the matter is to be investigated in Plenary. In line with the schedule of activities for an impeachment hearing in Plenary, I hereby give the following directions: a) The Clerk is to issue invitations to the parties to appear by tomorrow, Friday, 8th March 2024. b) The parties to file their responses with the Office of the Clerk of the Senate by Monday, 11th March 2024 by 5.00 p.m. c) The Clerk to circulate documents received from the parties, including the Plenary hearing programme to all Hon. Senators by 11.00 a.m. on Tuesday, 12th March 2024."

"content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity at the onset to confirm that I support this Bill. When we went to campaign to form the Government that was in place, there was a promise that was made to the people of Kenya. This Bill seeks to fulfil that promise. The Bill seeks to provide a framework for development and access to affordable housing and institutional housing and for connected purposes. Therefore, part of what we are seeking to do is to fulfil the promise that was made to the people of Kenya in the course of our campaigns. I would like to invite my very good friend and neighbour, Sen. Olekina, to read in detail, the provisions of the Constitution of Kenya, which he referred to in Article 43(1)(b). More importantly, in the First Schedule, Part 1, Section 20 and the Fourth Schedule Part 2, gives the national Government and the county governments their roles. That way, we will appreciate the fact that this Bill does not, and I repeat, does not take off the role of any level of Government from the other. It only seeks to establish that fact. Madam Temporary Speaker, in the interest of time---"
