    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Members, it was the Governor’s case that the resolution that was passed by the County Assembly was not passed with required quorum. We do not contest the fact that the resolution requires to be passed by two-thirds majority. However, you were told from the podium that they were 57 instead of 62 votes. That is also in the preliminary objection. That is a bare allegation; there are no facts in support of it. You were also told that after the preliminary objection was filed, it was incumbent on the County Assembly to file evidence to counter that allegation in the preliminary objection. The sequence of filing documents is set out in the Standing Orders, Fifth Schedule. It is not in dispute that the preliminary objection was filed on the Monday, 27th January, 2020. The requirement under the Rules are that, when the County Assembly receives the invitation from the Clerk - I am referring here to Rule No.7, where the county assembly chooses to appear before the Senate - the assembly will be required within 3 days of the invitation under Rule 4 (b) on a day to be specified to file the required documents there. The timeline that was set after the invitation under Rule 4 (b) was that the County Assembly had to file all its documents by Saturday, the 25th January, 5.00pm. 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."
