    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you need to protect me from the Senate Majority Leader. I just want to agree with my colleagues. In the history of this Parliament, no one can injunct Parliament. So, that aspect of an injunction of Parliament or court order before the National Assembly or the Senate does not hold water. I would, therefore, advise the governor’s defense team to stop pursuing that line. Secondly, on the issue of two-thirds, my concern is on Section 33 of the County Governments Act and Article 181 of the Constitution on the removal of a governor. In the decision of Raila Odinga versus Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) in 2013, the Supreme Court pronounced itself that when the process has started off, and I want to extrapolate that when the process has taken off as envisaged in that ruling before the Supreme Court, that process is time-bound. The fact that you read the charges means that the process is ongoing. When you look at Rules No.14, 16 and 30 on the Removal of a Governor, the process is already ongoing; the train has left the station. So, the question should be if the process has already begun, as per Section 33 with the genesis of Article 181 of the Constitution on the removal of the governor, what happens? I agree that in scientific proof, you cannot have a fraction of a human being. However, for some of us who are not very good at mathematics, there is also the principle of truncation. You must balance both, so that at the end of the day, we give justice to the County Assembly, the governor, any other person and the people of Kericho County. Since the train has left the station, let us go ahead and listen to the merits and demerits of the case then we determine. I submit."
