Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second charge was abuse of office/gross misconduct. On this particular allegation the chares were- (1) Abuse of power and authority (2) Violation of Article 73 (2) (b) of the Constitution (3) Violation of Section 59 (1) (b) of the County Government Act We were able to go through all the allegations and because of time, I will not go into very big details on all of them. Suffice to say that of all the 15 allegations in support of the first charge, the Committee was not able to find that there was any substantiation against 13 allegations and the same were dismissed. The Senators, who have the Report, will see the findings of the Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on failure to account for the resources allocated to Wajir County, this allegation was not proved and the Special Committee dismissed the same. On lack of accountability in the management of County resources, the Committee went through the evidence tendered. The verdict of the Committee was that the allegation was not substantiated."
