    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to address two issues only. The first one is, this whole process has been going on for close to 10 days now up to when the media started reporting that the Assembly will vote and so on. In my observation, the social media has been awash with all manner of comments and views. However, you will find roughly eight or nine out of 10 of the issues which are being commented on are not on the charge sheet. This House has even gone ahead and conducted impeachment of a governor. Sometimes when the House finds that there is no reason enough to impeach the governor, again, you find the social media and sometimes personalities and so on with all manner of comments that this person has done this and that. However, the point is, the actual charge does not include those issues. My suggestion is, when impeachment proceedings reach the House, I think the Senate should take enough opportunity to publish and publicise what the issues are so that everybody is aware of what is being looked into. The other issue is, this time we have done it as the whole House. When we are doing it through a committee, the governor is normally given the last chance to address the House before the voting. Now that we have gone the Plenary way, that seems to have not been included. It would have been okay if this session of debate did not appear. Now that we have commenced again, I suggest that it would be at the discretion of the Speaker that the Governor if he so wishes-just like we have done with others before because we may raise issues which he may wish to clarify or comment upon-may be given a chance if he so wishes to reply."
