    "content": "The lady who alleges that I participated in a malpractice has not made any complaint in any police station and was not called here to testify. Her affidavit that was read did not mention me; it mentioned some county officials. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the authors of the document from the Ombudsman were not called in this Chamber to testify that the document is genuine and is from their office. They should have been called because the process of getting rid of a Governor who was elected with 800,000 votes is important. I went round 12 constituencies to be elected. They should have been here to submit their evidence. They never called me and I have never seen them. I read about them in the newspaper. They should have been called here so that they are cross-examined. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the gentleman who gave evidence as the second witness, that is, Mr. Eric Kiriko has been the County Public Service Board (CPSB) Member for the last six years. He was the right person to answer to questions about employment. He could have given first-hand information because he has been a member for the last six years. Right now, he is employed by the deputy governor against a court order which I have with me from Justice Makau. Mr. Nyoro cannot employ, sack, or transfer anybody as the deputy governor. However, he has gone ahead to employ over 50 staff. Some of whom are bloggers whose daily work from morning to evening is to blog and malign my name. That is the person who was called as a main witness yet he is an illegal employee as per the order from the High Court. As per the Employment and Labour Relations Court, Petition No.172/2019. There is a very clear ruling on the orders."
