    "content": "NOW THEREFORE, pursuant to section 33(3)(b) of the County Governments Act, 2012 and standing order 68(1)(b), the Senate resolves to establish a special committee comprising the following Senators – 1. Sen. Billow Kerrow 2. Sen. Abu Chiaba 3. Sen. (Prof.) John Lonyangapuo 4. Sen. Muriuki Karue 5. Sen. Stephen Sang’ 6. Sen. Fatuma Dullo 7. Sen. Janet Ong’era 8. Sen. David Musila 9. Sen. Catherine Mukiite 10. Sen. Stewart Madzayo 11. Sen. Moses Kajwang’; to investigate the proposed removal from office of the Governor of Murang'a County and to report to the Senate within ten (10) days of its appointment on whether it finds the particulars of the allegations to have been substantiated. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you had said in your communication, this is a straightforward matter and I am requesting my colleagues to approve the names of the Members in line with what we have done in the past. In the spirit of fairness to the Governor, we should be informed on the allegations mentioned. Going by the names, some of these Members have been in other impeachment committees. It is prudent for continuity and speedy investigation that we include the names of those who have served previously in impeachment committees. This will make the work of the Committee effective so that we can get the report on time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you remember that the first impeachment took a long time because all the committee members were new but the second and the third ones were a bit fast because we included old and new Members. I know some Members may ask why some Members are here and yet they have appeared in previous committees. Going by the list, these are Members who are able, I know all of us are able and there is nobody who is lesser than another in this House. All the 67 of us are able to serve in this Committee. I, therefore, request my colleagues to approve these names so that they can elect the officials of the Committee and adhere to the timelines. I do not want to take much time because it is a straightforward Motion. I want to kindly request the Senate Minority Leader or Sen. Khaniri, to second. For clarity, I had requested Sen. Khaniri to second before the Senate Minority Leader walked in."
