    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, it will be grossly unfair if we get to a point where Members cannot be allowed to raise point of orders. We are allowed by our Standing Orders to rise and raise any procedural mater that we are dissatisfied with when we are conducting our business. It is within your jurisdiction as our Speaker to say whether that matter is with merit or without. I just want to seek a simple clarification from you. I agree with your ruling. I know there are people who imagine that I want to protest what you have ruled. However, I want to seek a clarification from you. When we take a determination of this matter, what will be the schedule of questions? You have said that the matters that have been conversed by the parties, of which you have ruled, need to be subsumed in their main arguments. As a House, we will make a determination at that point. You have said that it will be upon us to have listened to them. Will you then grant us an opportunity to deal with the issues that they had raised as preliminary objection then subsequently vote on the main issues? If we get to the point of voting and it is confirmed at question number one that this House has established that the County Assembly of Nairobi did not meet the constitutional threshold of impeaching the governor, the matter will end at that point. So it would be important when those questions are listed. That is the first question that is put before us before the rest of the questions. That is the clarification I want."
