    "content": "Sen. Murkomen): Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am giving you this information and willing to supply the House with further information once actually collected from the proceedings of the High Court. In both cases of Kiambu and Samburu counties, the decision has already been made; it is just being appealed. However, in the decision that have been made, it has been interpreted by the courts to constructively mean failing and barring him from performing his functions. I am saying so, because if it was about evidence it would have meant protecting the information that is there for purpose of prosecution, which cannot be indefinite. The courts would have given the DCI or DPP, say six months, to collect all the data that they want and then this person can go back to the office. If you see the indefinite nature of even those orders it means, therefore, that it is not about the evidence that is being collected. It is continuing to act as a governor to bar him from running the affairs, constructively, from the order that has created that opportunity. Sen. Orengo said on the Floor of this House when disagreeing with the order barring governors that we may be laughing at governors, but sooner than later, we will be told that a Member of Parliament should be barred from accessing his office. You then wonder what is that accessing of office vis-à-vis the rule of eight sittings and so forth."
