    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Counsel representing the County Assembly will be here shortly to try and convince you that what we have raised is not a preliminary objection, but requires an interrogation by way of listening to witnesses and making a determination based on what they will say. Our submission is simple, that what we have raised is a pure preliminary objection that can be addressed and determined based on what has been presented by the County Assembly of Isiolo. My understanding of HANSARD records is that they are a verbatim record of what transpires in the House proceedings. Therefore, they are able to tell us exactly what happened on the day that that Motion is said to have been passed. We have raised an issue with proceedings that are said to have taken place on 18th June, 2025 and 26th June, 2025. Hon. Senators, with your kind permission, kindly hold your Volume No.3 of the County Assembly's documents. I will take a very short time to take you through the HANSARD. This being a House that is also very much familiar with proceedings of the House, you will be able to tell me whether there is anything that took place there. At page seven of that bundle, we have been presented with what is said to be the proceedings of 18th June, 2025. We see the House purportedly sitting for the first time. There is no communication from the Chair. There is no calling of Orders by the Clerk. Straightaway, the Mover of the Motion proceeds to execute the business of the day. Look at it; it is straightaway withdrawal of the Motion on the impeachment of Isiolo County Government dated 10th June, 2025. What does it begin with, “Hon. Abubakar Godana.” Hon. Senators, who presided over this sitting? There is no invitation from the Speaker for the mover of the Motion to proceed and execute the business of the day. Let us proceed. Hon. Abubakar Godana proceeds and proposes a Motion to withdraw the previous Motion. He invites two Members of the County Assembly (MCAs); Hon. Nicholas Lorot and Hon. David Nyoro, to second the motion. Without 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."
