    "content": " Hon. Senators, the parties, ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the open Session. When we adjourned to go into the in-camera session, the Senate retreated to make a determination on the application by the Governor of Kiambu County to be allowed to file evidence out of time and for such evidence to be admitted by the Senate. The ruling on this matter is as follows:- The application has not been allowed and is hereby denied. The effect of this is as follows:- (1) That the Governor shall now proceed to put forth and urge his defence. (2) That the Governor’s defence shall be limited to the case filed by the county assembly and evidence put forward by the assembly, including any matters which arose in examination and cross-examination of the witnesses. (3) The Governor is also at liberty to canvass all the matters raised in his preliminary objection as it was filed. (4) At the conclusion of the case for the defence, the parties shall each make their closing statements as appears on the hearing programme, and the Senate shall retire to a Closed Session and afterwards to make a decision. (5) The programme is adjusted accordingly. The Governor is invited to commence his defence and will have the original time of not more than four hours that was allocated. We will have a break at 1.00 p.m. for lunch. Hon. Senators, parties, ladies and gentlemen, please note that, in accordance with Rule 29 of the Impeachment Rules, this ruling is final. Counsel for the Governor may now proceed."
