"content": "2023, which sought to quash the recommendations of the Committee of Powers and Privileges and the resolution of the Senate made on 20th September, 2023. Hon. Senators will also note that on 28th September, 2023, the High Court at Machakos issued orders whose effect was to suspend implementation of the resolution of the Senate on the conduct of Sen. Gloria Orwoba, MP, pending the hearing and determination of the matter. The High Court Petition and Judicial Review Application were subsequently merged by the court, heard undetermined on 15th January, 2025. In the judgement, the court dismissed the Petition and the Judicial Review Application. The import of this was that the court order staying the resolution of the Senate on the report of the Committee on Powers and Privileges, as well as any other consequential orders in the matter that had been filed by the Senator lapsed. Consequently, in the Communication issued on 12th February, 2025 and in accordance with Section 15(7) as read together with Paragraph Four of the Third Schedule to the Parliamentary Powers and Privileges Act, I proceeded to enforce the resolution of the Senate on the report of the Committee on Powers and Privileges. In the Communication, I informed the Senate that the 79-calendar day’s suspension that are to be applied in the year 2023 will run from Wednesday, 12th February, 2025 to Thursday, 1st May, 2025. In light of this directive, Sen. Gloria Orwoba, MP, commenced her suspension as resolved by the Senate on 20th September, 2023. However, Hon. Senators will recall that on the 26th February, 2025, the Senate varied its resolution on the report of the Committee---"
