    "content": " Hon. Senators, I have a communication to make on a Special Sitting of the Senate to consider the report of the Special Committee on the Proposed Removal from Office of the Governor for Murang’a County. Hon. Senators, as you may be aware, or as you may recall, yesterday Wednesday, 4th November, 2015, I issued a communication to the effect that I had appointed Saturday, 7th November, 2015 as a date for a Special Sitting of the Senate to consider the report of the Special Committee on the proposed removal from Office of the Governor for Murang’a County. After my communication, several of you canvassed the matter from the Floor and urged me to re-consider the decision to have the Special Sitting on Saturday, 7th November, 2015. I undertook to consult with the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders and give a way forward, pursuant to the said canvassing that was in the House. Hon. Senators, I have consulted and taken your views into consideration. I, therefore, wish to inform you that pursuant to Standing Order No.29(1) on further request of the Senate Majority Leader and with the support of the requisite number of Senators, I have appointed Friday, 6th November, 2015, as a day for the making of a Special Sitting of the Senate. The sitting shall be held in the Senate Chamber, Main Parliament Buildings, Nairobi, commencing at 3.00 p.m. to allow the Special Committee to finish its work. The business to be transacted at the sitting shall be consideration of the report of the Special Committee on the Proposed Removal from office of the Governor for Murang’a County. In accordance with Standing Order No.29(5), this shall be the only business on that day, and thereafter, the Senate shall adjourn to the next sitting day as per the approved calendar. Gazette Notice No.8228 dated 4th November, 2015, has been revoked and a new Gazette Notice on the matter has been issued. I urge all the hon. Senators to attend the Special Sitting of the Senate. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
