    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Sessional Committee on Devolved Government on the suitability of the Nominees to the position of Commissioner in the Commission of Inquiry into the Petition to Dissolve the Makueni County Government, laid on the Table of the House on 26th February, 2015. Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for reminding the House that we have to dispose of this matter today. This is because the consequences are so serious that if this House does not finish in good time, by law the President can say that we have delayed and continue to appoint these people, yet it is important for this House to be involved in terms of passing these names. Yet, again, as I said one year ago when we were debating the first impeachment in this House for the Governor of Embu, Hon. Martin Wambora, another very unfortunate situation has occurred, which is precedent setting. The Senate is for the first time engaging in a process that, though provided in our Constitution, most of us who are constitutional students and have followed the development of what is happening in our country as far as devolution is concerned, never imagined that in the first term of the first elected leaders in our Republic, we would discuss or even contemplate the suspension of a county government."
