"content": "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 Governments Act, 2012 and Standing Order No. 75(1)(b) of the Senate, the Senate may, by resolution, appoint a Special Committee comprising 11 of its Members to investigate the matter in Plenary; NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to section 33(3)(b) of the County Governments Act, 2012 and Standing Order No. 75(1)(b)(i), the Senate resolves to establish a Special Committee comprising- (1) Sen. Abshiro Halake, MP; (2) Sen. (Dr.) Michael Mbito, MP; (3) Sen. Mwangi Paul Githiomi, MP; (4) Sen. Beth Mugo, EGH, MP; (5) Sen. Anuar Loitiptip, MP; (6) Sen. Philip Mpaayei, MP; (7) Sen. Cleophas Malalah, MP; (8) Sen. Beatrice Kwamboka, MP; (9) Sen. Stewart Madzayo, MP; (10) Sen. Judith Pareno, MP; and (11) Sen. Moses Kajwang’, MP. to investigate the proposed removal from office, by impeachment, of the Governor of Kirinyaga County and to report to the Senate within 10 days, pursuant to Standing Order No. 75(2), of its appointment, on whether it finds the particulars of the allegations to have been substantiated. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on several occasions, select committees have been used to conduct impeachment. I think, on two occasions, we have also used Plenary to conduct the same. I had an opportunity to attend both. We should remove emotions, Members taking sides and other issues. I had the advantage of being in the Gov. Samboja Impeachment Committee and I found it to be more detailed, probing and investigative in nature. Mr. Speaker, Sir, because the Senate Business Committee had decided on the same, from my experience on investigations through both plenary and a select committee, I found that the probing was more thorough when it was done through committee. I beg to move and ask Sen. Malalah to second."
