    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, under Standing Order No.91, since these are our Standing Orders guiding business here, there is Standing Order No.223. I will need your ruling on two things, with all due respect. First, this Report has been laid. Standing Order 223, Sub-Article 7, is not specific to the report that is about to be presented by the Senator, whichever the outcome. It says- “Within 48 hours after the report has been laid on the Table of the Senate, the Clerk shall publish the report in the Parliamentary website and circulate all copies to all Senators.” It says, ‘laid.’ It does not say ‘after the Chairperson has moved.’ The last one, so that I give you the opportunity, this Select Committee Report is just like any other report. Some of us, whatever the outcome, despite the constraint that Article 181 of the Constitution of Kenya, Section 33 of the County Governments Act, Standing Order No.80 and the Third Schedule on the procedure of removal through the Committee process, might want to amend the contents of the report, noting that I am not anticipating the contents of the Report. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need the ruling on that Standing Order No.223 (7), and whether such a report that is about to be tabled by the Senate Majority Whip, can go full Motion, where members after looking at it, can amend whatever the outcome of the report is, whether it acquits the Governor or some allegations have been substantiated. Thank you, Mr. Speaker."
