    "content": " Hon. Senators, welcome back to the resumption of proceedings of this Special Sitting. I believe that you have now had opportunity to go through the Report of the Special Committee on the Proposed Removal from Office, by Impeachment, of the Governor of Wajir County. As you may have noticed, the Committee has found the allegations in Charge No.2 namely, Abuse of office and gross misconduct against the Governor of Wajir County not to be substantiated. However, one of the allegations namely, Charge 1 on Gross Violation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010; the County Governments Act 2012; the Public Procurement and Assets Disposal Act, 2015; and the Public Finance Management Act, 2012 against the Governor of Wajir County to be substantiated. Consequently, hon. Senators, the procedure to be followed in this case is that set out at Section 33 (6) (b) of the County Government Act and Standing Order No. 75 (4) (b) both of which provide as follows, and I quote- “If the Special Committee reports that the particulars of any allegation against the Governor have been substantiated, the Senate shall after according the Governor an opportunity to be heard vote on the impeachment charges.” Hon. Senators, that being the case, a Supplementary Order Paper has been circulated. The Chairperson of the Special Committee will give Notice of Motion for the Senate to consider and vote on the charge. Debate will then ensue on the Motion in the usual manner and at the conclusion thereof, the Senate will proceed to vote on the impeachment charge after according the Governor the opportunity to be heard. A Roll Call Division will be taken pursuant to Standing Order No.83, and for the avoidance of doubt, the Motion before the Senate affects counties and voting will be by delegation. I thank you. Next Order."
