    "content": "or demerits of the impeachment Motion before the Senate. Doing so would amount to anticipation of debate which is an infringement of Standing Order No. 99. Therefore, it shall be out of order, within the meaning of Standing Order No. 122, for any Senator to make comments, whether written or spoken, in relation to the conduct of the Governor or the impeachment process, which is outside the confines of the impeachment proceedings as such comments may prejudice the just outcome of the process. Hon. Senators, this is the third impeachment hearing in the 13th Parliament, and the second one involving the Governor in question. In undertaking this mandate, the Senate will be sitting as a quasi-judicial body and will conduct investigations into the alleged infractions of the Constitution and the law, and thereafter make its determination on the matter. As such, this is a reminder that the impeachment hearing is not just a procedural formality; it is a fundamental process that plays a crucial role in upholding the principles of democracy and good governance. This hearing is one of the most crucial oversight tools and singular roles of the Senate. I conclude by urging all hon. Senators to exercise the highest level of responsibility on this matter. I thank you. Next Order."
