"content": " On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is no lacuna in the law in this matter, because law is not necessarily what is written. It is guided by precedents, practice and usage. When we dealt with the Embu matter, there were two impeachment proceedings from Embu County Assembly; separate charges for the Governor and the Deputy Governor. The Khalwale Committee presided on both and returned a verdict of “guilty” on one and “not guilty” on the other. The Khalwale Committee was very clear and never cited any gap in the law on the process of impeaching the Deputy Governor. I agree with the distinguished Senator for Kisumu, the Senator for Tharaka-Nithi and the Senator for Makueni that their interpretation of the law is correct. The House should be guided by our previous conduct on a similar matter and we proceed to the Motion and deal with the matter before us."
