    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was about to say that the conduct of the Speaker of the County Assembly who communicated this to the Speaker of the Senate has not been impugned. To cast aspersions on a man of high integrity that he can seek to mislead this House in such a big manner in a matter of this high level sensitivity would only not do injustice to that Speaker, but also would to lower his reputation in the standings of a right thinking member of the society. The speaker communicated candidly and that communication was not disputed or reputed by the defence. Finally, on the issue of the quorum, it is being brought as a shield to make sure that this House does not interrogate what is before it. Why do I say it was brought as a shield? Mr. Kinyanjui, my senior, understands and knows the import of Article 47 and more so the Provisions of Administration of Actions Act, that if any person is unsatisfied with the decision of an administrative body or organ, the jurisdiction for challenging that process is not before this House, but before the courts of law. Further, it says that any person who has doubts with the decisions of a body like the County Assembly, the procedure would have been that of judicial review. The same was not availed. He never took that opportunity so as to bring that issue as a second thought. Finally, on the issue of the quorum, this House is guided by Article 181 as read together with Section 33 of the County Government Act. Section 33 of the County 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."
