Mr. Speaker, Sir, maybe you should direct us. Some of those things that are extraneous to this matters are dangerous because; if somebody else is stealing in Turkana County, does that make stealing legal? You know those statements are extraneous to this proceeding. This is because if it is another county we will ask them why they set up or why they did not set up and why they have not been asked those questions. However, in the case of Nyeri, we want to know why they did not comply with the provision of law.

I want to refer you to your report, and I asked this question yesterday. It appears that you cite Section 166 of the PFMA. My own reading of Section I66 is that it refers to quarterly reports. The section that refers to annual reports is 164; maybe you should check. However, would that explain the reason why by quoting the wrong section in your report, you then ended up not having the documents that are required under Section 164? Perhaps you can check that.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is a concern. Counsel Wanyama says that this gentleman cannot answer legal questions. At the beginning of this session for the one-and-a-half hours that he began, there are matters that the lawyer raised. In the clarifications that we will seek, will you restrict the witness to the questions of finance and the other issues that were raised by Mr. Wanyama to him? We need some clarity. Or, will we cross-examine the lawyer? We can also do that.

I do not know whether you have been shown the report that has led primarily to the impeachment of the Governor on misreporting of Kshs352 million. In that report, the executive quotes Section 166 of the PFM Act which is in reference to quarterly reports. The report we have here is a yearly report. So, I believe he quoted the wrong Section because that should be 164. That brings me to the question. He has cited in the forwarding note that he has forwarded this document to your Office. Maybe we would have saved Nyeri County a lot of problems ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am wondering whether you gave directions that our queries or clarifications on the acting county executive member of finance will come at the end after they complete this because that was not done.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have about four questions. The first question will be directed to the governor or his lawyer. From the letter dated 25th August inviting the governor to appear before the county assembly, the governor did not respond. The letter by the advocates to the county assembly does not refer to the notice by the governor and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We were thinking that most of the issues have been raised. However, the conclusion of the processes after the submissions--- I thought it would have been much better the submissions and our deliberations are done simultaneously, if we think that we can do that today.
