    "content": " Hon. Senators, we are reporting on a Petition to the Senate Concerning paralysis of the operation of the County Assembly of Nyandarua. Hon. Senators, I hereby report to the Senate that a Petition has been submitted through the Clerk by Hon. James Wahome Ndegwa EBS, the Speaker of Nyandarua County Assembly, concerning paralysis of the operations of the County Assembly of Nyandarua. As you are aware under Article 119 (1) of the Constitution says: “Every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including enacting, amending or repealing any legislation.” Hon. Senators, the salient issues raised in the said Petition are as follows: (1) That on 14th December, 2020, Members of the County assembly (MCAs) of Nyandarua were summoned by Governor Francis Thuita Kimemia to convey a message to the Speaker of Nyandarua that the Speaker of Nyandarua was required to be removed from his office with effect from 24th December,2020. (2) That the Governor required the Members of County Assembly to sign a Motion of impeachment to remove the Speaker from Office. However, some MCA signed while others declined. (3) That the three Motions were filed and moved to impeach the Speaker on 8th January, 2021, 8th February, 2021 and 8th May, 2021. However, the Court intervened and determined that the Motions did not meet the threshold in terms of requisite numbers, that is constitutional and statutory thresholds. To this effect, the resolutions were stayed pending determination and hearing of the Petition by the Speaker of the County Assembly. (4) That several Court Orders on the operations of Nyandarua County Assembly have been issued all of which have not been adhered to by Governor Francis Thuita Kimemia and his supporters in the County Assembly. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
