    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir and Hon. Members, in our evidence we are going to move step by step, charge by charge for ease of proceedings. Your Excellency, you have been charged in the impeachment proceedings with violation of laws, gross misconduct, abuse of office and crimes under national law. On the first charge, you are charged with gross violation of the Constitution and other laws. In 1(a) it is alleged that as governor of Nairobi you have violated Article 201 (a), (b) and (e) of the Constitution on the Principal of Public Finance Management and Section 154 of the Public Finance Management Act. It is alleged that the County Allocation of Revenue Act has also been violated on the use of conditional grants from the national Government by diversion or negligently causing to be diverted funds. For instance, on the use of Roads Levy and bursary funds to pay for garbage collection and lawyers contrary to bursary funds regulations and the approved budget. While you requested for Kshs297 million for bursaries from the Controller of Budget the funds were illegally used to pay garbage contractors and lawyers. Your excellency, what would be your response to that?"
