    "content": "the Controller of Budget this question; do you accept the accuracy of the report in relation to counts 1, 2 and 3? The answer was that she was not correct and on Friday, they will resolve this matter. That is the evidence which the County Assembly is relying on. The author, maker and provider of that evidence has already said that that evidence is neither here nor there. Can you crucify a governor on the basis of evidence whose maker says it is wrong? Secondly, a lot of issues that I have listened to here are from the Auditor-General. I heard one of us asking a very pointed question. He said that the question of hanging is upon us and he will not hang anybody. When he came to provide that evidence to make us hang the Governor, he was very reluctant and the lawyers for the County Assembly never prodded him. I thought they would try to prod the Auditor-General to accept what he had written as being the truth and nothing but the truth. So, again on that account, can we rely on that evidence because the provider of that evidence said he is still in the process of carrying out that audit? In relation to the other evidence that is here about the irregular procurement contrary to the Public Procurement and Disposal Act, there is a proper legal mechanism for challenging procurement questions. There was no evidence provided that, that mechanism had been pursued nor was there a report made that an offence had been committed because under that Act, there are offences provided for. Overall, if you look at the charges as laid out up to Count 6, they are matters to do with the Auditor-General. I have looked at the other charges and Sen. Murkomen has commented on them. There are serious things happening in Nyeri which are not right. In fact, nobody should give the impression here that issues of governance are being conducted by the governor in the manner that is stipulated by the law. That cannot be correct. Our question is; for purposes of impeachment, do they have sufficient evidence to crucify somebody who carries the votes of nearly 500,000 people in Nyeri County on account of evidence of this nature? It is a big volume but if you look at it, the volume does not help us a lot in the sense that it is not authenticated. Just imagine, one of these fine days, you will be taken to court just because of this volume and you are taken to jail for 10 months because it looks very impressive but in it, there is nothing. Like somebody said “ bure kabisa” but anyway, that is not my---"
