    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to magnify my voice to be heard on the issues affecting the impeachment of the Governor of Embu County. From a legal point of view, and even assuming that this is what in law, we call a review brought before a court of law, if, indeed, it was a review, the question that the judge will be asking will be pure and simple: Are there any new facts or is it the same thing that we are dealing with?” Of course, if it is found that there are no new facts the application will be dismissed summarily. This is not a review nor is it an appeal; it is a fresh matter that is coming before us. However, we all know that the facts before us are the same as the ones we dealt with in February this year on Valentine’s Day. Our decision at that time was that we made a final decision. It was frustrated by an operation of the law and the matter has come back to us under the operation of the law because our earlier actions were nullified by the other court. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question that we must ask ourselves, and I want to thank the Committee chaired by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, is this: What is there that has come to us this time that we do not know or that we have not dealt with? Are there any new facts to make us deal differently with the situation before us? Are there any new basis that we did not deal with in February or are we dealing with the same facts that we dealt with in February?"
