    "content": "Allow me to take this opportunity to thank Hon. Jack Wamboka for having the courage and fortitude to not only collect signatures and bring this Motion but also to prosecute it although he has performed dismally in his prosecution. Hon. Speaker, I keenly listened to you on Tuesday, when you made your Communication on this Motion. This House as you stated, is a House of rules and is guided not just by the Standing Orders but also by our Constitution. If you read through Standing Orders 64 to 66, you will realise that Hon. Wamboka’s Motion falls flat and contra our Standing Orders and the Constitution as well. It is also true that matters to do with the removal of the Office of Public Officers, as you stated in your communication are largely guided by precedence and borrows heavily from court rulings and the threshold set in. The famous Wambora case or the removal of the former governor for Embu County speaks volumes. In that case, one of the things that was made clear is that there must be a very clear nexus between the person being removed from office and the alleged grounds on which that removal is sought. Therefore, the question we ought to ask ourselves is, has the Mover of this Motion, Hon. Jack Wamboka, created or shown us that nexus between the person being removed from office as a Cabinet Secretary and the alleged grounds of removal? And the straight answer is none. There is completely no nexus between the allegations that the Hon. Jack Wamboka presented in his moving of this Motion."
