    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not want to buttress what my colleagues have said. I agree that the first preliminary objection falls because precedencies have been set that Parliament cannot be injuncted on the course of its work. However, you have been invited to make a critical decision without speaking on whether the threshold was 31 or 32; both parties have come up with arguments and counterarguments about why they think 31 would be the threshold or 32 would be. Authorities have been cited, especially in the Tana River County. The county speaker and Nkaduda versus the County Assembly, at what point should you truncate the numbers? They believe that they should be rounded off to the nearest whole. The defence of the governor, through their counsel, Katwa Kigen, feels that at the beginning of the inception of the county assembly, there was a precedent that 32 would be the number. You have been invited to make this decision, which is weighty. If you were to allow these preliminary objections, then these impeachment proceedings would fall as at now. The jury would not have had an opportunity to make a decision on this matter. It is a serious invitation. I would want to dissuade you from agreeing to fall prey to Rule 30 of the rules of procedure that you use to make this decision on preliminary objections. 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."
