Mr. Speaker, Sir, I totally agree with the interventions of my learned colleagues. The only thing is that the Standing Orders make it clear that any preliminary objection should only take 30 minutes. For our comfort, it is good that he has given us notice that he will take only 30 minutes for all the three preliminary objections, if the House allows. Maybe the question that Sen. Wetangula is asking is the sequencing. Should we first hear the one that is in the file? However, bearing in mind that even when he reverts back to making a case on the ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sorry to interrupt. I am doing this on behalf of many of our Members on this side who have asked the same. I want us to be clear. It has nothing to do with the witness who is making a presentation.

My question is, will this House have an opportunity to first of all, vote on whether an impeachment took place or not? If the governor is guilty of the charges, which I am not saying he is because it depends on evidence and so forth, there still will be a substantive question on whether or not an impeachment took place in the County Assembly of Kiambu. That would have a major implication on the decision that you make on the four charges. We do not want to confuse that because we raised the caution earlier. If this process will be ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, to the best of my knowledge, the witnesses are not here although the first witness is. Is it in order for you to call the witness who has just finished so that we can ask those clarifications?
