    "content": "any reference in this Constitution to a State or other public office or officer, or a person holding such an office, includes a reference to the person acting in or otherwise performing the functions of the office at any particular time;” Sen. Khalwale, in fact, you will still be responsible even when you are acting, but for the Governor and Deputy Governor, people took a vote and decided that this is the team that is going to be there and the Constitution has given them certain functions. The question by Sen. Khaniri that is more valid is whether the law has provided for that. I think that Sen. Kindiki has spoken to it; that if you look actually at the entire law, it provides that where the Governor would be impeached, the Deputy Governor can also have the same. Of course, we have already put it in our Standing Orders, in appreciation of the work done by Sen. Khalwale’s Committee, and I am sure that it will find its way into legislation. That is how legislation is made. We learn from the experiences and identify the lacuna that exists technically, but, surely, it does not take away the principle of accountability, especially if you hold that particular office. Let us proceed because I am completely satisfied that this is the best way to proceed. A Governor and a Deputy Governor can actually be impeached by a county assembly and the matter can move to the Senate."
