    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hate to interrupt, but let me just support what the Chair has ruled. Yes, we are adjudicating over this matter in a quasi-judicial capacity, but we are the Senate and we are guided by the rules of the Senate. Once the Speaker directs that something of a procedural nature should take place, I think that should be the case. However, Mr. Speaker, Sir, now that counsel for the county assembly has relied on the Evidence Act, that Evidence Act is the one that prohibits the introduction of new evidence late into the trial and it is Section 146 of the Evidence Act. In matters of judicial proceedings, you stick to evidence that was tabled and adduced at the time of close of pleadings."
