Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a principle of law called construction, where when interpreting the law, the interpretation should not lead to an absurdity. What Sen. Khaniri is suggesting would lead to an absurdity. It is not only that, but if this Senate is going to be bound by precedent of what we have done before, Sen. Khalwale in his Committee for the removal of the Deputy Governor of Embu County, held and found – and which we voted – that the law applicable for the removal of a Governor applies mutatis mutandis to a Deputy Governor. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
