"content": "impeached on 24th October, 2024 and a resolution of the Assembly was brought before the Committee. After the impeachment, the Speaker who was impeached moved to court and filed a case, Petition No.1 before the Labour and Employment Court in Kisii and sought conservatory orders from the court. The court heard him and made a pronouncement. The court said, we will not give you conservatory orders, serve and come back. Why is my Chairman, Sen. Abass, feeling jittery about just coming to report to the House that this is the situation? If you go to court, you seek to get a conservatory order on a resolution passed by a House, and you do not get a conservatory order, what is the effect? The effect is that you remain impeached. If you get an order from court, everybody, I included, will be bound by that decision. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, if the Chairperson feels this matter is too hot for him, it can be referred back to the Plenary of the Committee of the Whole. However, one way or another, the people of Nyamira are eager to see how the Senate of the Republic of Kenya will pronounce itself on this issue. Therefore, I urge my colleague Senators to ensure that we remain a House that can be relied upon by both the county assemblies and the executives---"
