In summary, the programme states that today, Tuesday, 7th November 2023, after we have dispensed with preliminary matters, the charges against the Governor, as submitted by the County Assembly, shall be read to the Governor. This will be followed by an opening statement by the County Assembly and thereafter, an opening statement shall be made by the Governor. After the conclusion of the opening statements, the presentation of the case of the County Assembly shall commence and shall take us up to the end of today's sitting. At the sitting scheduled for tomorrow, Wednesday, 8th November, 2023, the Governor will have an opportunity to present her case before the Senate. This will be followed by closing statements by each of the parties for a period not exceeding half an hour each. The Senate shall then proceed to a debate prior to voting, on each of the charges. At this stage, a Supplementary Order Paper will be issued to facilitate this debate. In accordance with Section 33(7) of the County Governments Act, 2012, and Standing Order No.86 of the Senate Standing Orders, the voting shall be by county delegations. The Governor shall cease to hold office if a majority of all county delegations of the Senate vote to uphold any impeachment charge. However, if the vote in the Senate fails to result in the removal of the Governor pursuant to Standing Order No.87, the Speaker of the Senate shall notify the Speaker of the Meru County Assembly accordingly. Hon. Senators, ladies and gentlemen, I now invite counsel for the Meru County Assembly to introduce the legal team of the County Assembly and the Members of the Meru County Assembly representing the County Assembly by stating their full name and designation of each person. Kindly proceed."
