    "content": "establishment of a Special Committee does not pass, the Senate shall proceed to investigate and consider the matter in plenary. The Resolution of the Senate on the Motion by the Senate Majority Leader will therefore determine the manner in which this matter shall henceforth proceed. It is noteworthy, and I wish to emphasize to all hon. Senators, that debate on the Motion shall be limited to the substance of the Motion, namely; whether to establish a Special Committee consisting of the listed Senators to investigate the proposed removal from office of the Deputy Governor of Machakos County. It is not a Motion on the propriety, prudence or even the constitutionality or the legality of the processes that have preceded the submission of this matter to the Senate. It is not a debate on the facts of the matter or their merits. It is, therefore, not permissible to deviate to any matters other than the Motion before the Senate. Hon. Senators, as I conclude, I have previously stated in this House that the hearing of charges for the proposed removal from office of a State Officer is one of the most important and also most solemn functions of the Senate under the Constitution. I, therefore, urge once again, that the Senate exercises the highest level of responsibility and circumspection on this matter in plenary and also, should the Motion by the Senate Majority Leader pass, in the Special Committee. Thank you."
