    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. While responding, I wanted you to also respond to this other point. This is the point that I am seeing in the Motion. I do not know what was before the County Assembly; was it one Motion or were there two Motions or were they approved Motions, which would imply that there was one Motion for the Governor and another one for the Deputy Governor. I want to raise this issue because what we are discussing here is very important’; that is, the removal of Governor and his deputy. From what I can see, there is no impeachment process that impeaches two offices at the same time in one sitting. Even in America where my learned friend quoted Nixon, of course, he was wrong to say that he was impeached because when they embarked on the process, he resigned. In America where the President and the Vice-President are elected together, it does not mean that both must go. In other words, the impeachment process was only against the president and not against the vice president. I am raising this point knowing very well that there could very well be situations in which the facts that relate to the Governor and the facts that relate to the Deputy Governor---- I do not know because we do not know how the proceedings were. For those who have read them, they can guide us. You might as well find that the facts as relates to the Governor are different from the facts as relates to the Deputy Governor. I would not want to say that the Governor or Deputy Governor are prejudiced in any way in their defence of their cases by the fact that their two cases have been joined together in one case. Therefore, I would also want you to comment on that issue and inform us whether they are two offices and should be dealt with together. Will the Committee deal with one office first and then the other or will they handle them together? We need some guidance on this matter."
