    "content": "On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Whereas I respect the views pronounced by the distinguished Senator for Vihiga, but if you read the Motion, it cannot be true that what is before the House by way of this Motion is the same as the one that we dealt with. It is not. If you read this Motion, it talks about a decision made by the County Assembly on 29th April, 2014. So, that there are no doubting Thomases, you are not just supposed to look at the Order Paper, there are accompanying documents to assist you if you have any doubts. If you look at the particulars of allegations against the Governor of Embu County, they may be similar but they are not the same. You know English is a very precise language. Again, in the accompanying document, there is a debate at the County Assembly of Embu and the HANSARD is there. That debate was held on 29th April, 2014. More importantly, there were writs which were served on the Speaker in accordance with Article 181 of the Constitution and Section 33 of the County Governments Act. Once you receive them, then you are expected, in a particular fashion-- - Even the ten days provided in the Motion is not something you have picked up in the air, it is in the law. So, whereas I symphathize with the comments made by the Senator for Vihiga, but had he cared to read the Motion carefully, he would have discerned the fact that this is completely different and therefore completely in order. I would rather we do not even talk about what happened in court because once you begin talking about what happened in court, then even the authority of this House will be undermined. We deal with the business that comes to us in accordance with the law."
