"content": "listened to my good friend, the Senate Majority Leader. However, I would like to tell him that we cannot violate the law just because we want to listen to evidence which looks weighty. We must look at what the law says. In the matter of Kericho County Assembly, we had a serious issue of two-thirds threshold. Consequently, this House decided that because of that issue of the two-thirds threshold, we dispense with the matter at the appeal. In this case, there was no sitting. Article 181 of our Constitution, Section 33 of County Governments Act, and Standing Order No.65 of Isiolo County Assembly are clear on the need to have a sitting and a Motion tabled. There was no sitting nor tabling of any Motion. We are sitting here and asking for video recordings, which we are not being given. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are considerate as a Senate. We have thrown out a number of Motions. For example, the one for Meru County Assembly, because we wanted to teach the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) what to do right. They went, did the right thing, and we impeached the Governor. In this case, we need to send them back to do the right work, so that when they bring a proper impeachment Motion here, this House will have the obligation, exercising Article 96 of the Constitution, to send the Governor away. However, you cannot allow people to meet in a bar, present a Motion to us and this House sends away a governor who has been duly elected by the people. That will be setting a wrong precedence. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to dissuade colleagues. Let us deal with this preliminary objection in an objective manner and follow the law, because we cannot continue listening to a Motion that is a nullity. I support this Motion."

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. County assemblies are starting to become fearless. They do not fear the law, the people and this Senate. Remember the dilemma that we have in Nyamira County Assembly. They have even gone as far as cheating the Controller of Budget (CoB) to approve budgets that were not done by the actual County Assembly. I would like to appeal to the people of Isiolo County that we are here. We are your friends. You have set a precedence through your county assemblies. You brought a 1,570-page document to prove your case. We cannot ignore that. However, you must know that the process is just as important as the reason for removing the governor. The reason for removing the governor is what you have in the 1,570-page document. However, the process is in the preliminary objection. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very disappointed, by the Counsel of the County Assembly. Since you are procured at a very high cost, how could you come here and think that you would pull the mat from under our feet and get away with it? That, a qualified lawyer, not one, but five of them, can imagine that a preliminary objection would never come if they came here. You should have anticipated this preliminary objection and come with the videos and audios. The reason why you do not have is because they are not there."
