    "content": "Hon. Members, there is no deal now. If you are not satisfied, if you see no statement from the Speaker of Nairobi County Assembly that there was, indeed, compliance with the preliminaries of the purported impeachment, unfortunately with tremendous respect, you have to down your tools. This is expressed in Section 15 of the Impeachment Bill 2018. It has passed from you although it is pending in the National Assembly for persuasion. Hon. Members, His Excellency the Governor will demonstrate and show that an issue that is alive and is pending before the court, freezes whatever actions that are therein contained in the pending impeachment Motion that was originally filed on 20th February, 2020 by the named third witness, Hon.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in 2013 as well, you asked the Supreme Court to assert the authority of this House by judicial intervention, and was indeed, required that this honourable House has that authority that cannot be compromised by inaction or judicial ingenuity. His Excellency the governor, therefore, implores and urges you that as we The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
