    "content": "Senate to take a position on allegations that have been debated here in previous Impeachment Motions, in respect of which the governor has been cleared of the same. May I draw the attention of this Senate to the fact that the mover of this Motion confirmed that in respect of the claim of employment of a bloated workforce, the same list of employees in the same order that was presented here in November last year, is the same list of employees in the same order that she has presented here today and sought that this Senate reviews its previous decision, and enters a different decision from the one it entered last year. The second set of matters I want to deal with are pending active litigation in court as we stand here today. What I will describe as matters that are sub judice. Count No.1, paragraph one of the impeachment Motion alleges that the Governor illegally revoked the appointment of CPA Virginia Kawira Miriti as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Meru County Public Service Board. Distinguished Senators, it is not in dispute that this matter is pending active litigation at Meru Employment and Labour Relations Court, Case No.E002 of 2024, CPA Virginia Kawira Miriti versus the Governor Meru County. The Governor invites this court to consider as a matter of principle, what is its policy on matters sub judice ? What is the policy of this Senate on matters that are pending active litigation before other competent institutions of dispute resolution? Evidence of the pendency of that case has been supplied in volume two of the Governor’s documents at page 14. Another matter that the Governor wants you to apply the same mind on, matters that are actively pending in court is what I referred to earlier as Count No.1, paragraph four on the alleged illegal dismissal of Dr. Ntoiti, Paul Mwaki, Kenneth Mbae and Joseph Kithure Mberia."
