It is not a call for interrogating the weakness of an individual, but the ability of that individual to execute her constitutional mandates. For the third time, there cannot be malice. This cannot be a personal vendetta. There is no relationship that is unconstitutional between the Governor and the County Assembly that can make the County Assembly aggrieved on behalf of the people of Meru County for the third time. Accountability is the gateway to earning trust."

We will show you how families are broken down courtesy of reckless statements that are unaccountable, made and attributed to the Governor."

That is the case that we have before you. When she is called to answer to the same, she always has an escape route. She has manufactured a serious safety valve that makes sure that she is never held to account for her actions. She blames others. She keeps on saying, that it was not her. As we speak, she is in charge of the county that has embezzled Kshs212 million courtesy of maintaining a manual payroll; hard-earned money due to the inability to manage the county. We have a Governor who is serving in the Meru County Government and is unable to manage her Human Resource (HR). When proper procedures are called out by the employees, they are victimized because she wants to maintain a system that is not accountable. This House has risen to the occasion. Whenever I appear before this House, I leave with confidence that whether we win or lose the case, this House has done its work. This is the House that will go down in the history of this Republic as one that has been out to hold individuals accountable, irrespective of gender or political association. This House has remained true to its calling. It has remained very impartial to the processes. That is why we are bringing a case against Governor Kawira for the third time because we have confidence that this House will look through the facts of the case and dispense with substantive justice.

"content": "The first step towards success is taking responsibility for your actions. The measures of one's character is attributed to the ability to manage the responsibilities that have been bestowed and granted unto you. What is your role if you cannot be held accountable and always blame others? When others are making that mistake and embezzling funds, where are you? What actions have you taken? We will bring cases where the County Assembly has attempted to hold the Governor accountable. Reports have been made before the County Assembly, summons issued and recommendations made, yet the Governor declines with contempt, ridicule and spite on the part of the County Assembly. That is the case that we have. Hon. Senators, holding people accountable is a show of love. When you hold somebody accountable, you are simply saying, that you are capable of doing bigger things. This is not out of malice or any personal vendetta. It is to show the love that the County Assembly has for the people of Meru. We will present before you evidence that public participation was effectively carried out and 85 per cent of the participants gave a verdict that supports the County Assembly's case. We will give you evidence that 49 Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) voted in support of the Motion. These are not the Governor's relatives neither do they have any fraternal association with her. They are people who are simply executing their mandate as bestowed on them by the Constitution. That is the simplicity of the case that we have. We will bring you evidence of a witness who is currently displaced from her matrimonial home, courtesy of the irresponsibility of the Governor and her inability to manage how she relates to the members of the public. We will bring you the sniper's wife case, which is before the County Assembly. Not to prosecute the murder case, but to prosecute chapter six of the Constitution in respect to the Governor's inability to manage the county. Hon. Senators, as I pen off and invite my learned friend, we invite objectivity in the case. You shall be brought evidence by Governor Kawira. Former individuals who moved this Motion before for her impeachment have now been staged as witnesses. What happened? What donned to this MCAs who just the other day, a few months ago, were moving for the impeachment of the Governor? Now they have become darlings of the Governor. Is that a conduct that is consistent with innocence, integrity, accountability and transparency? We will bring you that evidence. We will show you why this is a serious turn of events. Hon. Senators, kindly, allow me to invite Mr. Mawira for further submissions. I am most humbled."

As I was preparing to make this statement, I found myself pondering about this third impeachment process that is before you. The question that came to my mind is if Meru County Assembly is before you for the third time merely for the joy of it. Is it merely for the joy of it? Hon. Senators, clearly and logically, there is a problem. The Meru County Assembly has diagnosed that problem. The Assembly is beseeching you to find a remedy and a cure to this problem. Meru County is ailing and this House has the proper medication for this problem. We are going to demonstrate through various testimonies and exhibits that we have already filed, that there is a serious breakdown of governance in Meru County. How is the Meru County Assembly expected to function if its oversight function has been crippled by the County Executive?
