    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to Move that the Bill be now read a Second Time. The Bills seeks to provide a general legal framework for the procedure for the removal from office by impeachment of the President, the Deputy President, a cabinet secretary, a governor, a deputy governor, and a member of county executive committee (CEC). The Bill further seeks to give effect to the constitutional principles of democracy and participation of the people in impeachment proceedings as set out in the Constitution as follows: 1. Article 145 of the Constitution which provides for the removal of the President by impeachment. 2. Article 150 of the Constitution which provides for the removal of the Deputy President by impeachment. 3. Article 152 which provides for the impeachment of cabinet secretaries. 4. Article 181 which provides for the removal of a county governor. Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Article 118 of the Constitution and Standing Order No.127(3), the Committee invited the public to make their presentations on the Bill and sought the views of the Attorney-General of Kenya, the Kenya Law Reform Commission, the Law Society of Kenya, the Council of Governors, and the County Assembly Forum. The Committee received submissions from the Council of Governors, and the County Assemblies Forum. It observed that the Bill does not raise any significant constitutional or statutory issues and resolved that the House should proceed with it. Further, the Committee, having extensively considered the Bill, clause by clause and submissions by stakeholders, recommends that the Bill be passed with amendments as proposed in Chapter Four of the Report. I thank you and call upon Hon. Sankok to second."
