    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Motion. My opposition is fortified by the Standing Orders and the County Governments Act, which are the same, word for word. In Law we call it ‘on all fours’. Standing Order No. 68 (1) (b), for avoidance of doubt, reads as follows:- “The Senate, by resolution, may appoint a special committee comprising of eleven of its Members to investigate the matter.” The word ‘may’ is optional. Under Standing Order No. 68 (1) (a), the Speaker is required to summon us and convene a meeting of the Senate to hear the charges. That one is mandatory. I implore Members of this Senate to agree with the proposal that the Plenary of the Senate conducts this trial of the Governor of Nyeri County. I want to repeat what my colleague, Sen. Khaniri, has said; that we were criticized by both the print and other media. I recall that I am one of the people who opposed the findings of the Committee by Sen. Musila."
