    "content": "For example, a look at Paragraph 53 of the said document appearing on page nine makes reference to the Governor of Kisii County. Further to that, in Paragraph 61 on Page 13 of the document, the document makes reference to the spouse of the Governor of Kisii County. Equally, the pages refer to matters of budget. More so, paragraphs 56, 57, 58 all the way to Page 11. These are not matters that form part and parcel of these proceedings. The consequence of this pleading will only embarrass individuals who are not party to these proceedings. It will not just embarrass, but also deny them an opportunity to appear and be heard by this distinguished House. We all understand that in strike law, the doctrines of natural justice granting a party an opportunity to be heard is one of the principles elucidated under Article 50 of the Constitution. As such, in the aforementioned paragraphs, it is our humble prayer that the same should be expunged from the record as they do not form part and parcel of allegations contained in the charges read to the Deputy Governor. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I sum up and invite my learned friend, Mr. Mutuma for supplementary submissions, permit me to lead the House to page 12 of the document in paragraph (f), just to indicate the irrelevance of the evidence contained. It refers to the members of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). The allegations are that the JSC; I may read in verbatim. It says- “That the effect of conducting county affairs and files at the personal residence is that, the governor's wife attends meetings, makes inputs to official county matters, and serves as both protocol officers and deputy governor, inter alia, the JSC.” In determining the relevance of these averments contained in the foresaid paragraphs, we invite the Senate to interrogate the purpose and objective of such kind of averments and whether or not they inform the charge. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
