Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have two very quick interventions. The first one is a clarification. The witness said at some point that things turned west. I would want to understand, when things turned west, where are they heading? What you say is the only thing we can use to make a decision. Secondly, most substantively, there has been reference to the Auditor-General’s Report for the Financial Year 2022/2023. The witness did well when he made reference to Article 229(8) of the Constitution on the processing of Auditor-General’s reports. That those reports cannot be used as material evidence in ...

Is it the evidence on record of the witness and under oath that last year, you moved a Motion for the impeachment of the Governor of Meru, under duress and that you do not believe in what you said and the grounds that you adduced? If that be the case, why should we believe you have faith in what you are telling us?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have two questions to the Governor: One of your key witnesses, Hon. Mawira confessed on record and under oath that he and a group of other MCAs of Meru on their Motion, converted themselves into economic saboteurs. That they sat down and conspired to sabotage the economy of the County Government of Meru. At what point did you get to know this admission of crime and as the governor of Meru, did you report this matter to the police because it is a criminal offence? Secondly, I want to get your appreciation of the ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand on the strength of Standing Order No.111 on Limitation of Debate. Reading the mood of the House, Senators have almost made up their minds on what they want to do on this Motion. So, we limit debate on this matter. I am not saying that you put the question. I propose that we limit the debate to maybe three or five minutes, so that Senators can just take a vote on this procedural Motion.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know what the excitement is about. I stand to oppose the Motion on the appointment of a select committee to handle the impeachment of the Governor of Meru County for good reason. The Senate does not exist in a vacuum. We live in a society. We have ears that listen and hear what the people are saying, and see what is happening. The impeachment Motion of the Governor of Meru County has attracted immense interest beyond Meru and the Eastern region. It would be better that everybody gets to see the proceedings ...

Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker. In all due respect, Sen. Orwoba stood on a point of order when Sen. M. Kajwang’ was contributing. I have been asking myself, what was out of order with what Sen. M. Kajwang’ was presenting, and the connection between what he was presenting and what she has spoken. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is also a House of record and have to draw a line between issues that are administrative and issues for debate on the Floor. I say this as a leader in this house because there is wisdom in what I am saying.
