    "content": "of the philosophy that a President, Deputy President, and a Governor are elected by people to hold serious constitutional offices; that when they are subjected to the trauma of impeachment, it cuts like a saw. It cuts back and forth. It cuts the governor and the people over whom they have authority. So, we must not let the people of Taita Taveta; for example, go without their governor, neither should we let the Governor of Taita Taveta have his fate hanging in the balance without knowing which direction he is going. That is why the time limits are set. The time used, as set out under Standing Order No. 75, that my distinguished colleague from Narok has mentioned, is not “may”, it is “shall” within 10 days. There is no room for maneuver. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been looking through the Standing Orders since you used the term “stay”. I am unable to find any reference to freeze or stay of proceedings. The Standing Orders only talk of adjourning. You can adjourn proceedings. You can only adjourn proceedings on a causation from a member. Therefore, in this regard, well intentioned, and we must expand our jurisprudence, I encourage you that when you come to make your final ruling, to say that you acted perincuriam, on that matter. Just like Mr. Gibson Kamau Kuria one time told a judge, that Mr. Judge, one of us is definitely not telling the truth and it is not me."
