    "content": "misconduct--- I wanted to note – just for purpose of public consumption –that if you read Article 75 of the Constitution, it says that:- “A State officer shall behave, whether in public and official life, in private life, or in association with other persons, in a manner that avoids— ( c ) demeaning the office the officer holds.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Constitution we passed creates very interesting issues, including concerning itself on behaviour and manners of public officers. As Sen. Orengo was saying, if a public officer or a Senator is rowdy and urinates on himself in public or does particular things in public that perhaps can be said to be “manners and behaviours that demean his office,” that legislator can be recalled. If it is a Member of the Executive, he can be impeached on that basis. So, we want to also request our officers in the county governments, as we also warn ourselves, that the standards of integrity that are provided for in the Constitution are high and, therefore, each one of us is expected to behave in a very honorable and respectable manner. Finally, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to tell the Governor that we wish him all the best. Go home, do your job and avoid repeating the same issues. Go home knowing that we did not do you a favour; we were just simply doing our job. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
