    "content": "tells you that another constitutional organ has pronounced itself as to what transpired in the County Assembly. If the High Court, established by the Constitution has made a verdict and dismissed Mr. Kinyanjui’s application dated 30th November, who are we to question the processes? The only forum that it can be questioned is the forum that has been created by the Constitution and that is the High Court of the Republic of Kenya. Madam Deputy Speaker, on the clarification on the question of the “party after party clip”, we cannot look at the clips in isolation. We are looking at the clips in a holistic manner so that one can piece them together to the conduct of this particular person. While analyzing these clips one must go to the provisions of Article 75 of the Constitution. One must seek leave in the provisions of Article 76. These Articles speak to the conduct of a public officer or a State officer, either in private or public. Why do they speak? They speak in a manner that the conduct of that State Officer must breathe confidence in the office that he holds. A man comes to his office, dances to ‘party after party’, the man is supposed to go to France and explore as to whether Nairobi can reach the status of Paris, but he decided to go dancing. What does he say, ‘party after party’? We send the governor to France to expend public finances, but he goes joy riding. Is that a person who requires the mercy of this House? That is not a person who requires the mercy of this Senate. Madam Deputy Speaker, you must look at the evidence that was brought here. Before I go to that, there was a question on whether the governor was furnished with the notice. I have addressed that. There is a question of the diversion of the bursaries. Evidence has been adduced. It is contained in our document file labeled 9A. When put to task, the governor could not substantiate whether the money, the governor could not divert or deviate or avoid the fact that the money was domiciled in the County Government account. He alleges that the money was refunded back to Central Bank. Has he provided any evidence? None! Is that fact and ground rebutted? No rebuttal. That is a score. Madam Deputy Speaker, I have dealt with the issues on clarifications. Permit me to give a small address as to the question of the evidence that was provided, then later address my senior learned friend, Sen. Omogeni. Sen. Omogeni has sought to know and asked us to assist the Members of the Senate to understand the evidence. We have files ranging from 9A, 9B, 9C, 9D and 9E. All that evidence is critical to the proceedings before the Senate. Most importantly---"
