(e) Soft copy of the Third Edition Standing Orders of the County Assembly of Meru contained in an accompanying flash disk. Hon. Senators, in terms of the way forward following the reading of the charges against the Governor, Standing Order No. 80(1)(b) of the Senate Standing Orders, as read together with Section 33(3)(b) of the County Governments Act, gives the Senate two options on how to proceed with this matter. The Senate may – (a) by Resolution, appoint a Special Committee comprising 11 of its members to investigate the matter; or (b) investigate the matter in plenary. The Senate Majority Leader will, at an appointed time during this sitting, give a Notice of Motion for the establishment of a Special Committee. Should this Motion be carried, the Special Committee will be required, under Section 33(4) of the County Governments Act and Standing Order No. 80(2) of the Senate, to investigate the matter and to report to the Senate on whether it finds the particulars of the allegations against the Governor to have been substantiated. In the event that the Motion for the establishment of a Special Committee does not pass, the fallback position is that the Senate shall proceed to investigate and consider the matter in Plenary. In this event, I will appoint the dates on which the Senate will sit in Plenary to hear and determine the charges against the Governor. 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."
