    "content": "I also want hon. Members to look at Clause 32, which is on the powers of the Governor, the functions of the Deputy Governor and the removal of the Governor. This is, again, the one that I will pick on. This is not provided for in The Elections Act. So, if you look at Clause 34, we shall be talking about the removal of the Governor from office. In this particular Clause, the procedure is spelt out on how a Governor may be removed from office, which will culminate in an impeachment process at the Senate level. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is, therefore, not going to be easy to remove a Governor from office. Neither is it going to be impossible to do so but there will be a process to followed, which will be very clear. If a County Assembly has a problem with its Governor, there will be a process to be followed, which will include the passing of a Motion of no confidence in the Governor, to be supported by at least two-third majority. If two-thirds of the Members of a County Assembly uphold it, the matter will be referred to the Senate. In the Senate, again, there has to be at least two-thirds of the Members present and voting if, indeed, the Governor has to be impeached."
