    "content": "be seen to be fair and that justice is not only done but is seen to be done, there is no harm in allowing them to call the witnesses whose affidavits were filed on time. Just in answer to the advocate to the County Assembly, the affidavit that is found on Page 648 gives the name of the deponent, his occupation and address in Nairobi. There is a jurat at the end of the affidavit. It was sworn on 13th December, 2020. The heading has nothing to do with any court. It is in relation to these proceedings. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my position would be that just because they did not provide a list, that should not be used against the Governor because we want to render substantial justice. The other side would not be ambushed because their affidavit is in this volume and they have been served. In those circumstances, I pray without further delay that if there is an affidavit that was filed on time, those witnesses should be allowed to give evidence. If the counsel from the County Assembly wanted a little time to look at the specific affidavits, they should not be allowed to call anybody. They should say: “We are calling this witness because he swore an affidavit. The affidavit is found on this page and is sworn on this date and only strictly to those persons who have affidavits in these volumes.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, I pray."
