"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have checked the rules and they do not provide for filing of additional documents after documents have been exchanged between parties on Friday, when we came and served the Office of the Clerk of the Senate with the documents for the respective parties. So, if the audio recording of the HANSARD is required, it shall be provided. On the question by Sen. Mumma on whether there is a social media site for the County Assembly, there is no social media site for the Assembly proceedings. So, there is no record either on YouTube on the Assembly sitting for that day. For other previous proceedings, if there are members of the press who are allowed in the Chamber, there are proceedings for those days. However, on this specific day, there was violence and as I have said, this is a matter of evidence. If you go to our Volume No.1, you will find an Occurence Book (OB) report on page 42. This OB report is on the breaking in of the County Assembly on the date of the debate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your leave, I would request that our Video No.6 be played. That video will demonstrate that the entire HANSARD Department of the County Assembly was vandalized on the 26th June, 2025, when the debate on the Motion was ongoing. Therefore, all the County Assembly’s records, including the HANSARD of the 18th, were stolen. What is more curious, from our Video No.9 in our folder, is that the only office in the entire County Assembly that was spared is the Office of the Clerk. This Clerk is a witness for the Governor. On the question by Sen. Nyamu on whether the Governor was invited, it is, indeed, true. On our Volume No.5, page five, there is a letter of invitation sent to the Governor. It was served and an affidavit of service is filed in that regard. On the last question by Sen. Omtatah on the effect of that court order, a court order that is given by a court lacking in jurisdiction, as my senior said, is a nullity in law. It is of no legal consequence, to borrow the words by the Governor's lawyers. On the question by Sen. Mundigi, indeed, public participation was undertaken. We have two volumes, Volume No.4A and Volume No.4B on that question. I would request your indulgence for time to have those two videos played. They are crucial to this question of whether, indeed, the Assembly sat, because they demonstrate the violence and the vandalism that took place in the Assembly on the 26th of June. In that regard, I would request for maybe additional time to play those two videos."
