The projected business on Thursday, 8th May, 2025, will include business not concluded on the Order Paper for Wednesday, 7th May, 2025 and any other business scheduled by the SBC.

Senators are aware, the Senate is scheduled to proceed on recess at the rise of the Senate today in accordance with the Senate calendar. I, therefore, take this opportunity to wish all hon. Senators a Happy Easter and a fruitful engagement with their constituents within their counties, families, friends and relatives. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise on a point of order. I have just perused through a report that has been tabled before the House by the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. It is a progress report on the operational and leadership crisis affecting the County Assembly of Nyamira. I rose on a point of order on 1st of April and sought the indulgence of the committee to deal with four issues. I have had the opportunity to peruse through. I thank the Chairperson of the Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations Committee and his members for the attention that they gave this matter and for the speed at which they have tabled the report before the House. On behalf of the people of Nyamira, I want to thank the Chairperson and the committee, especially on the resolution that states that the sittings of the county assembly should henceforth be held at the county assembly building opposite Kenya Industrial Estate, Nyamira. I am hopeful that the people of Nyamira will appreciate the intervention of the Senate and that we will not have two parallel sittings henceforth in the County Assembly of Nyamira. That is a really big milestone for me and for the people of Nyamira. This dispute has been ongoing since October last year. I brought it here on 1st of April and the Senate of the Republic of Kenya has moved with speed and resolved the issue. I am sure this will be a matter that will be applauded by the citizens of the County Government of Nyamira. Now, there are a number of issues that are purely legal that may not be resolved by the Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations Committee. If you read my statement, I sought the committee to tell the House the legal status and effects of the sittings that were held outside the official premises of the county assembly. That issue The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "has not been resolved by the committee. I believe rightly so, because that is a matter that should squarely fall within the Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee (JLAHRC). Secondly and my final point, there is another issue I sought on the legal standing of all the businesses that have been transacted by the two factions, especially the faction that was led by a speaker who had been impeached. If you read the documents that have been tabled before the court, there is a finding in Petition No.E-008 of 2024 where Justice Okwany states that she gave the initial orders in that case erroneously and that she did not up the jurisdiction to entertain the issues that were before her. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the second matter is Petition No.E001/2024, that was filed before the Employment and Labour Relations Court at Kisii, being, Constitutional and Human Rights Division, Petition No.1/2024. If you read that affidavit which appears on page 244 of the report, the Speaker says that he was present when the vote to impeach him was taken and that he intends to have the High Court declare the impeachment process to be unconstitutional. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like the Senate Standing Committee on (JLAHRC) to tell this House the import of a Speaker moving to court after impeachment, seeks a conservatory order and the court declines to issue a conservatory order. What happens to the resolution that was passed by the County Assembly? This is because those issues are weighty and legal in nature. They are urgent issues that need to be resolved so that we can have resumption of normal operations in the County Assembly of Nyamira. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek that you refer those issues to the Senate Standing Committee on JLAHRC for determination. I am making this request as the Senator who rose and sought answers from the Senate Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. I thank the Senators who dealt with this matter. I am also happy that they have directed the sittings of the Assembly to proceed in accordance with the Constitution of Kenya and the law. This means that anybody who has gone to court and has not obtained any orders should respect the constitutional process that has taken place. We do that all the time. Since the matter is urgent, I will seek your direction that the Committee reports on that matter within 14 days. I thank you."
