    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me go to the point. It is not lost on me that this House is surviving because of favourable court decisions. If the National Assembly was to ignore the various court decisions that have been made in favour of this House and make a similar ruling, like yourself, this House would have wound-up a long time ago. So, for a matter that is weighty and would have disposed the case in total, was it not wiser for the decision to be made by the Senate on a vote instead of the Speaker taking responsibility? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am saying this with utmost respect. Tomorrow, if you become the Governor of Bungoma County again and there is another court order or you are brought here for impeachment and you need a court order, are you confident that you can appear before the courts of Kenya and tell them that you ruled to ignore court orders? It would have been safer if it was the decision of the Senate. However, if it becomes the decision of one person, that is where we have a problem."
