    "content": "Throughout this trial, we will be demonstrating what amounts to personal culpability. For instance, if the CEC for Finance has been in constant communication with the County Assembly on the budget-making process and there is a stalemate, what is the role of the Governor in that regard? Did the Governor instruct the CEC for Finance not to work with the County Assembly in the budget-making process? One of the issues which have precipitated this impeachment is principally the failure of that budget-making process and the need by the MCAs to go beyond what they have been given in terms of law and exercise some executive function. At what point is the Governor involved in the budget-making process? Is there any wrongdoing on the evidence submitted? It is being alleged that the Governor has failed to assent to law yet we have evidence demonstrating that all the laws which the County Assembly says the Governor has not assented to have actually been assented to. On the contrary, even if a governor has not assented to a legislation, there is a statutory mechanism for that legislation coming to force automatically. Do we impeach a governor yet there is a mechanism for a legal framework to come into force automatically without assent? Is that a ground which is capable of impeachment? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I know that my time has lapsed. Thank you very much for listening to me."
