    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. You will recall that at the sitting of the Senate of 15th October, 2019, the Hon. Deputy Speaker of the Senate, by way of Communication from the Chair, informed the Senate that he had received correspondence from the Speaker of the County Assembly of Taita Taveta communicating the approval of a Motion by the County Assembly of Taita Taveta to remove from office by impeachment the Governor of Taita Taveta County. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the same day, the Senate Majority Leader gave notice of Motion and moved it. I will not go through the Motion that was moved, because of the time that you have given me. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to thank the House because the Committee that was formed was an impeccable one. It was a very high level Committee consisting of Sen. George Khaniri, Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko, Sen. (Dr.) Agnes Zani, Sen. Cheruiyot Aaron, Sen. Charles Kibiru, Sen. Boniface Kabaka, Sen. (Dr.) Steve Lelegwe, Sen. Beatrice Kwamboka, Sen. Farhiya Ali and Sen. (Rev.) Naomi Waqo. This Committee was mandated to investigate the proposed removal from office of the Governor of Taita Taveta County. Following the debate on the Motion, the Senate resolved to establish the special Committee. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the special Committee met on several occasions. In fact, I am skipping the number of the meetings that we met. The following charges had been proffered against the Governor:- (1) Misappropriation of funds contrary to Section 196 of the Public Finance Management (PFM) Act, 2012. The particulars include: a. expenditure on unbudgeted projects; b. unwarranted formation of task forces; c. stalled projects; and, d. failure to prudently implement the development budget. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
