    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Committee that we appointed to look into this matter. This was a very explosive matter. The nation has been looking forward to the verdict which is not necessarily this one or that one. Impeachments will come to this House. This is unlikely to be the last one. When an impeachment comes to a House like this one, we are expected to be sequestered. We are expected to be locked from hearing opinion external to us or from listening to feelings other than facts. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I noticed when we were appointing this Committee, many of us got emotional and descended into the arena. We descended into the arena without waiting for evidence and giving anybody a chance to discern or understand what was coming. There were people or some of us who said: Let us listen to what the people of Kirinyaga would say. For myself, I thought they would have opportunity before this Committee, which they did and presented whatever they presented. There are those who may disagree with what the Committee has said. However, I agree with the verdict because I watched a bit of the proceedings on television. It is my considered opinion that the conclusion the Committee has arrived at is based on what was presented before them. In future when such matters appear before us, I plead that we sequester ourselves. We should not debate because we create a poisonous and toxic environment to make it impossible to objectively arrive at a finding."
