"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, under Article 181, the removal of a governor is a constitutional matter. I am happy that the Njuri Ncheke has recused themselves and written to the High Court to remove themselves from that matter. With all due respect to that High Court Judge, I find it mischievous to refer matters that should not be entertained under ADR because this is a constitutional matter. If it was issues of marriage, succession and other matters that are of personal nature in the definition of law, then the High Court could refer. The Judiciary must be called out. I saw in a matter of Garissa County where the Governor has appointed more than 30 chief officers. The members of the public went to seek an injunction, but the Judge at the Garissa High Court ignored and allowed the process of vetting and appointing of 30 chief officers. We have also seen the matter of FKF. Is the Judiciary or judges a stumbling block against Kenyans seeking justice? I tend to agree so. I thank the High Court judge in Eldoret. When Gov. Sang reappointed a County Executive Committee Member (CECM) without seeking recourse to the County Assembly Approval Act, they ordered him to do vetting again. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."
