    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I rise to oppose this Motion, that we should not terminate these proceedings at these preliminary stages, because there is evidence that there was a sitting, as per what has been adduced by the County Assembly. The Governor of Isiolo County was impeached by 16 Members of the County Assembly out of 18. That is a record of over 95 per cent attendance of impeachment. I would, however, like my colleagues to reflect on the roles of Parliament, and the powers of this House. Under Article 125, this House has the power to summon appearance and evidence. That is why we are here today. In exercising that authority, the Senate and Parliament is acting to the level of a Judiciary. If you look at the judicial authority under Article 159, there is no reason absolutely as to why at this stage, we should terminate the proceedings on technicalities. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in Article 159(1) states- 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."
