    "content": "No, not really, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is just that a colleague is sitting next to where my card is. It could be Sen. Sang. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the Senator for Nyeri County in terms of some of the remedies that are being sought here. Those issues could have been investigated effectively by the county assembly so that in the second instance, this House can have a second look. However, like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said, this House must always dispense justice. We cannot say we are incapable of dealing with certain issues. In my own opinion, the best thing would be to commit the process to the relevant committee. It is that committee that will advise the House and the Speaker about the necessary procedures. If there are certain processes that if this House takes will negate constitutional processes by the county assembly, then the committee will advise so that it can be ventilated on. If it means that one of the challenges the committee face, for example, if they invite the governor and he does not come, then that becomes a basis for certain recommendation by the House. The Petition should be committed to the necessary committee. It will then advise the House at length. However, the caution here is that looking at the petition as it is, the Senator for Nyeri County is correct in terms of; it would have been better if county assemblies started and failed at a certain stage and were devoted to this House."
