    "content": "For purposes of determining that preliminary objection, we will be making reference to the letter dated 1st March, 2024, which was the letter written by the Speaker of the County Assembly to the Speaker of the Senate. On pages seven to eight of that letter, they have listed the items that the Hon. Speaker read at the start of these proceedings: The Notice of Motion, Votes and Proceedings, the Order Paper, and so on. However, when the letter was being written to the Deputy Governor asking him to defend himself by a letter dated 8th March, the contents of what the Speaker of Kisii County Assembly had forwarded to this Senate were changed completely. We have a new case completely. The new document has three pages. The other one has about 20 documents, and document number 20 is excluded. The new one has 24 documents. If we are being faithful to the wording of Rule 20, that there should be no new allegations or new evidence and it should be limited to what the Speaker communicated between themselves, then this letter written by your staff member from the Directorate of Legal Services is a scenario where your staff is changing the case that the Speaker of the Senate is aware of to another different case. He now tells us that we need to respond to issues of a video in a flash disc brought from Jane Bonareri, James Orenge, David Obiri, Shem Mombasa and Fred Anyona. It also asks us to respond to a report of public participation, which we have never seen. We 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."
