Sen. Mandagoshould take these reports very seriously because the matters that we found, there are those that can be sorted immediately by county governments. There are those in the short term can also be addressed. There are those issues they need to plan as they do their budget- making process...

Hon. Members, I direct that putting of the question to this Motion be deferred to the next sitting of the House. (Putting of the question on the Motion deferred) Hon. Senators, for convenience of the business of the House, I will rearrange the Order Paper. I direct that Order No.15...

Sen. Joe Nyutu, proceed to move the Motion.

Sen. Mandagocritical that needs to be addressed. When people are found to have broken the law and are put to prison, the purpose of the prisons is to offer correctional services.Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are young people in this country who have been sentenced to prison and their fingerprints...

Sen. Mandago Mr. Speaker, Sir, my question to the Cabinet Secretary is on the programmes he has said are running. Unfortunately, we have not heard about them in the counties. What is the Cabinet Secretary and the Ministry doing to ensure that these programmes reach the youth at the lowest...

Sen. Mandago What is your point of order, Sen. Kinyua?

Sen. Mandago Madam Temporary Speaker, property was not destroyed on ordinary days. It was destroyed during maandamano.

Sen. Mandago Madam Temporary Speaker, let me temporarily withdraw. Even as I withdraw, Sen. Kinyua knows the owner of the goons. (Laughter) Sen. Mandago, the point of order is very specific. Do you have a name of the owner of the goons or you do not? If you do not,...

Sen. Mandago, you know the rules. Please, withdraw or name the owner of the goons. Sen. Mandago Madam Temporary Speaker, so that I can conclude my submission, let me withdraw that statement. The point is made. Even as the Constitution allows for people to picket, demonstrate and petition, it also...

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is the kind of Standing Orders that I have taken issue with. Now, the former Governor for Uasin Gishu wants this House to believe that Nyandarua County is actually in Rift Valley.

Sen. Mandago, you have a point on the fact that the Senator for Nyandarua is Sen. Methu, but I will proceed to allow Sen. Nyutu to welcome them on behalf of Sen. Methu.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. This is the kind of Standing Orders that I have taken issue with. Now, the former Governor for Uasin Gishu wants this House to believe that Nyandarua County is actually in Rift Valley. July 15, 2025 SENATE DEBATES 30

Sen. Mandago Sen. Joyce, kindly, on the aspect of documents having been forged, you need a document expert examiner.

Sen. Mandago Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. I would like to join my colleagues to reiterate the fact that we would have wanted to listen to the substantive Impeachment Motion. However, the County Assembly has not sufficiently demonstrated to this House that there was a sitting. Even...

Sen. Methu, please proceed.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senate cannot be reduced to a theatre of absurdity. The question before us in this Motion is not merely a procedural question; it is a deep constitutional question that must be answered. Mr. Speaker, Sir, just imagine if you were to carry this precedent and allow...
