    "content": "Most obliged. I kindly request to conclude the remarks of the County Assembly by demonstrating the two-faced nature of the contest that the Governor has raised. On one hand, you are being told that there was no resolution passed by the County Assembly to impeach the Governor. It is for that reason that my learned friends took detailed time to take you through the HANSARD and evidence to show that there was no Motion or resolution that was passed. On the other hand, they have made it a point to say that there is a resolution, but that resolution has been declared null and void by a High Court order. Ipso facto, what the Governor is saying on the other hand is that the County Assembly sat and passed a resolution, and on second hand, they took that resolution and went to the court, where the court adjudicated on that resolution and found it to be null and void. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Governor needs to take a position. Is it that there was no resolution or there was a resolution? You have not been told in any uncertain terms that there is any constitutional or statutory provisions barring this House from conducting its business today. You have not been told that there is court order barring these proceedings. In the absence of those two parameters, it is our submission that there is no preliminary objection capable of being sustained in these proceedings. As I conclude, you will note from the various remarks made by my learned friends for the Governor and us, that the record of whether or not the County Assembly of Isiolo sat is contested. There is a rebuttable explanation for that. That can only be made when the County Assembly is given an opportunity to present this case. 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."
