    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. Faki moved that we hear the governor and he was not seconded. I want to be on record that I am seconding him. The Standing Orders are not very clear on this particular procedure. It just says that having substantiated, the Senate shall after according the governor an opportunity to be heard, vote on the charges. Some of the matters have been substantiated, and I think it is only fair that before we take a vote--- Of course, a vote will be preceded by debate if there are those who wish to make some contributions and observations. Therefore, it is only fair that we listen to both sides. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my colleagues have put it very well and the lawyers who have spoken before me, that in this particular matter we are like the judges, and therefore, we cannot give our verdict having only listened to one side of the story. It is just fair that at this stage, we bring in the governor to make his address, then you can now open to Members for debate and voting. Thank you."
