    "content": "We were about 67 at Riverside. However, at the time we arrived at Upper Hill, due to teargassing and all other issues, we were about 60. Fifty seven of us proceeded to Kwale, and we switched off our phones because they were ringing non-stop. The House leadership purported that there was a party position from His Excellency the President and former Prime Minister, Hon. Raila Odinga, saying that they had sanctioned the impeachment. We have the messages. Finally, I will speak on the issue of the leadership of the House. The impeachment that has been commenced is of the interest of a few people who hold leadership positions, not so much because of the substance of the impeachment, but because of their selfish interest. They say that it is either their way or you get out of the way. We have been victims of their abuse of office. The Governor is becoming a victim because if he does not do as they wish, they commence impeachment. Most of these Members in the leadership, from Hon. Guyo Abdi, who is the Leader of Majority and Hon. Ogada, who is the mover of the Motion, without prejudice to who they were, were former councillors. They have alleged that they have a way of running City Hall, and the Governor is interfering with their methodology of doing things. Therefore, this impeachment is not on substance, but because of the interest of a few people. They have used all means of intimidation of Members to procure this impeachment to this stage."
