    "content": "As Senators, you know the level of intimidation that can happen when people want to force a decision. We were mere victims by way of suspension and de-whipping, and we urge that the Senate, in its mandate of protecting devolution, that it shall protect its members towards taking an active democratic and transparent process. This is because the de-whipping had nothing to do with our conduct. As I said, I am an hon. Member, the Chair of the Committee on Education, and an active participant of the House. I think I have contributed most Motions, Statements, and even two Bills before the House. Therefore, there was no reason for me to be suspended other than to make a statement about the impeachment. It was supposed to cow us, especially nominated Members, so that we vote towards a certain direction. That message was communicated clearly and Members became very fearful. Finally, as I said, this impeachment is not on the substance of the Motion. It is on the interests of the leadership of the House led by the Count Assembly Minority Leader, Hon. Michael Ogada, the Mover of the Motion. Thank you."
