    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the two minutes to comment on this very important matter. As we are here, many Kenyans are watching us. They are glued to their television because many Kenyans are now sensitive to devolution and governance. So, preliminary objection number one is dispensed off naturally. On the second preliminary objection, the High Court pronounced itself that you go to the nearest whole number. When you do so, you land at 31. The other argument now is about the threshold that was put in Kericho County when they were electing the Speaker of the County Assembly. This matter is about Mathematics. As other colleagues have put it, I would request we hear these cases. We should give Kericho County Assembly and Kericho County Governor time to prosecute their matter before this Senate. If we determine this matter in any other way, rather than listening to the parties, then we will not be giving justice to the good people of Kericho County and the country at large If we do that, the Senate will be a House that cannot protect devolution. In my submission, I wish that we listen to both sides. We are judges. This is a High Court sitting. We will make our determination in one way or the other. I thank you."
