    "content": "Hon. Senators, I have another Communication to make on the holding of a hybrid Sitting during the Special Sitting of the Senate, to consider the proposed removal from office, by impeachment, of the Governor of Nairobi City County. Hon. Senators, the Sitting today is special in several ways. It is special because it is a sitting convened after we have gone on recess. Secondly, it is special because this is the first sitting where we will hold a hybrid sitting, as provided for in the Senate Standing Orders, Part XXIXA. According to the interpretation of the Standing Orders, a hybrid virtual sitting is one that entails a sitting or meeting consisting of Senators who are physically present at the location of the sitting or meeting and Senators who participate in the sitting or meeting virtually from a remote location through the use of technology. Hon. Senators, the prevailing COVID-19 pandemic has affected each one of us in one way or the other. Noting that its prevalence continues to increase, and in line with the COVID-19 guidelines on keeping safe, I have determined that it is, indeed, imperative that we hold a hybrid virtual sitting to accommodate our colleagues who are not in a position to attend and participate physically. In order to ensure decorum, effective and efficient conduct of the hybrid sitting, I hereby wish to give the following guidelines- On logging-in- (1) The online platform to be used during the sitting will be Zoom Video Communications. (2) Earlier on today, I issued guidelines on the hybrid virtual sittings where I informed Senators who intended to participate in the sitting virtually to contact the Office of the Clerk of the Senate, at least 30 minutes before the sitting commences to enable the Secretariat to facilitate them with the log-in credentials. (3) Senators participating virtually must log-in using their full names and their video must be on. What we mean is that you must be seen."
