    "content": "On a point of order. Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to seek your guidance if we are satisfying the provisions of Standing Order No.68 1(a). Standing Order No.68 (1) reads that within seven days after receiving notice of resolution from the Speaker of the County Assembly supporting the removal of a Governor of a county, pursuant to Article 181 of the Constitution: (a) The Speaker of the Senate shall convene a meeting of the Senate to hear charges against the Governor. The provisions of Section 68 (1) (a) are very clear; that your were convening this sitting so that we can hear the charges. From the way we are proceeding, I see the only agenda on our Order Paper today is to pass a Motion to approve names of Committee Members and yet the Standing Order says that the House should hear the charges and then the Senate by resolution may – after hearing the charges – appoint a special committee comprising 11 of its Members to investigate this matter. I have a feeling that we are breaching our own Standing Orders because Section 68 (1) (a) is very explicit. I think we are not adhering to the provisions of that particular Standing Order. I seek your guidance. Thank you."
