"content": "What we are going through is an evidence-in-chief. This witness has sworn a witness affidavit, which is primarily her witness statement before you, and there are specific claims in that witness affidavit, which Counsel in exam-in- chief is supposed to bring on board to this Senate. The question that has just been put to this witness is not part of that witness affidavit. Secondly, the question of the murder trial as has been confirmed through the other witness is a matter actively pending before another court of law. We express our deepest sympathies to this witness for the loss of her husband. We would be the last people to want to see her go through the agony that the advocate for the Assembly wants to take her through at the moment. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we will do that justice, by limiting this witness, first, to the issues raised in the impeachment Motion. The question of who murdered or who did not murder Sniper is not part of the impeachment Motion anywhere and is not part of this witness affidavit anywhere.With tremendous respect, it is raised for the limited purpose of emotionalizing the Motion we have before this House. We beg that you overrule Counsel and restrict him to the evidence that was filed in this Senate and supplied to the Governor's Team. I beg, Mr. Speaker."

"content": "I am most obliged, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have always held my Senior Learned Counsel with high esteem until this afternoon when he makes an objection on a point that is not legally founded. Their evidence, that has been supplied to us from the Governor in terms of the phone number that I have questioned the witness on, and therefore, to assume that we can only limit ourselves to the affidavit and not test the evidence of the Governor, would be far from the truth. We have a charge sheet appearing on page 429 of our bundle of document at volume two. The County Assembly has no intentions whatsoever to prosecute the case that is pending before the court of law, but there is no caveat that an issue that arises in this trial cannot be mentioned for purposes of record. We have not accused the Governor of murdering Sniper.I do not know whether I have touched a raw nerve, but the objection is not founded. We will only ask the witness in terms of the particulars of the person charged. We will not go to the evidence of who killed who or anything of that sort. We have tendered that evidence, but they did not respond to it in their defense. We understand that it is a very emotive issue as demonstrated by the witness."

I tend to agree that if this matter of the murder case is in court, then it shall be sub-judice for us to discuss it here. Let us steer clear of that. Counsel, I would urge you to stick to the affidavit provided by the witness, and the line of questioning should be specifically on the impeachment Motion. Let us not divert on that, please."
