    "content": "Article 251 (2) states as follows:- “A person desiring the removal of a member a commission or of a holder of an independent office on any ground specified in clause (1) may present a petition to the National Assembly setting out the alleged facts constituting that ground.” Hon. Speaker, Sir, if you allow me, I want to read clause (1). It states as follows:- Article 251 (1) “A member of the commission (other than an ex officio member), or the holder of an independent office, may be removed from office only for – (a) serious violation of this Constitution or any other law, including a contravention of Chapter Six; The term to note is “serious” Within few a minutes I am going to demonstrate the grounds of the petitioner to show that they were not serious. When I looked at the name “Riungu” I thought it was my friend, hon. Kang’ethe Irungu; only to realize that this gentleman by the name Riungu Nicholas Mugambi, is from Igoji Meru. When you look at this petition, this particular petitioner did not appear before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs. The allegation is very serious. We need to know who this Riungu Nicholas Mugambi is."
