    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason why I allowed Sen. Orengo to inform me is because he oozes wisdom and that additional information is very important particularly coming from a Senior Counsel. I know we have hammered in this House the question of separation of powers. If every time that is the way we are going to manage the processes of county assemblies, Senate and the National Assembly, I am worried. There is a consistent trend, even in the previous judgement that the court is saying that we cannot oversight the Judicial Service Commission, and now it says that we cannot oversight a Governor. Really, where are we heading to, particularly where we know that the officer who is making the decision is an employee of the institution that is in question? They must tread very carefully because emotions can be allowed to run high in Parliament because as politicians, we have sectarian interests to protect, but in the Judiciary, the courts must walk the thin line; like Caesar’s wife. They must be above reproach and suspicion. The phrase Caesar’s wife came about because one time a man who wanted to be close to Caesar’s wife decided to dress like a woman and attended a dance that Caesar’s wife was attending. Caesar’s wife did not know that she was dancing with a man because he was dressed like a woman. But because Caesar’s wife was expected to be above reproach, Ceaser divorced his wife even when the situation and the circumstances did not indicate that she was culpable in terms The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
