Pursuant to Article 93, there is established a Parliament of Kenya which shall consist of the National Assembly and the Senate."

He must choose whether he wants to be a legislator or he wants to be an advocate. The tragedy of premising a case such as this one on the misconception of facts is that Hon. Osoro wants to convert this distinguished Senate to a field day somewhere in Nyarbari Chache."

"content": " Hon. Senators, it is now 1.38 p.m. We are going to adjourn and resume at 2.30 p.m. I will be delivering my ruling at 2.30 p.m. before we adduce the evidence by the County Assembly. Now, the issues that have been raised that require my determination are- (1) Whether we should allow to summon Haggai; an application that has been made by the County Assembly. (2) Whether to expunge certain paragraphs for being irrelevant as submitted by the County Assembly. Whether to expunge certain paragraphs and documents for introducing new evidence and material as submitted by the Deputy Governor and whether the documents as submitted by the County Assembly of Kisii did violate a mandatory rule that required the County Assembly to deliberate on this matter within 10 days. It is the submission of the Deputy Governor that the County Assembly of Kisii County violated that Rule by sitting outside the 10 days. That is a matter that I will rule on. (3) Lastly, whether Hon. Silvanus Osoro, can appear for and on behalf of the Deputy Governor. We will rule on those issues before we proceed to take evidence from the County Assembly. Yes, Counsel. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
