The first two hours of the debate on the motion on establishment of a committee to probe the grounds for the impeachment of Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru were dominated by points of order. Siaya Senator James Orengo said that for members to stand on point of order, they must quote the standing order before. The Senate Business Committee last Friday recommended an 11-member committee to investigate charges levelled against Waiguru. Waiguru had challenged the impeachment motion that led to her removal from office. “…a declaration that the proceedings commenced by the county assembly in respect of the impeachment motion during the subsistence of the order issued on April 7 are null,” court documents read.
