    "content": "Government Act as read together with Standing Order No.75 of the Senate, does not put this House as a prefect to my client. It only says: “Upon receipt of a resolution of this nature, the House will convene to hear that particular resolution, whether it stands the taste of time to impeach the governor.” Section 33 of the County Government Act does not say that this House can prefect another constitutional organ. The reason being that in the constitutional equilibrium, these two organs are exercising their constitutional functions. The only person mandated to question the constitutionality of the process is the High Court under Article 165(5) where it says, “The High Court has power to interrogate whether anything said to be done has been done in accordance with the provision of the Constitution.” I, therefore, submit with respect that the question of quorum cannot be raised as a shield and an afterthought."
