    "content": " Hon. Senators, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Senate, I welcome the County Assembly team, the governor’s team, members of the public and the media to the Senate and to these proceedings. As you are aware, Article 118 of the Constitution mandates Parliament to conduct its business in an open manner, and that its sittings and those of its committees shall be open to the public. The hearing of the proposed removal from office of the County Governor, pursuant to Section 33 of the County Governments Act and Standing Order No.80 of the Senate, is a matter that generates immense public interest. The Senate, in this particular hearing, has facilitated the members of the public who are interested in these proceedings to access its galleries. However, I draw the attention of the members of the public who are seated in the galleries to Rule No.28 of the Speaker's Rules, which states as follows: “Visitors in the galleries shall remain seated and shall not applaud, comment audibly, make signs, eat, sleep, read books, newspapers, or other matter, except the Order Paper for the day, or create any disturbance”. I request the members of the public to observe the aforesaid Rule. Any member of the public who contravenes the Speaker's Rules will be inviting stern action against them, which includes expulsion from the precincts of Parliament. The office of the Clerk of the Senate is directed to ensure compliance with the Speaker's Rules. 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."
