    "content": "Hon. Members, I must remind you that we have brought evidence. Governor Sonko has acknowledged that imprests were paid for the wrong reason. He has not denied that the daughter belongs to him. He has said she is his biological daughter. I regret that. At times, we leaders do not have to subject our children to this kind of torture. We leaders as Kenyans, as and when we execute our public responsibilities, let us keep our families from these embarrassments. Why is the young girl under cruxification today? Why is she being prosecuted in absentia? She is being prosecuted because of the actions of her father. Her father is negligent. Her father is not capable of running a public office. That is why we have to invoke Agnes Saumu. Otherwise, as a parent of two sons, I would not want to be pointed out that I utilised money to feed and fly my young boy Njiru Jnr. to the UK. Can you imagine somebody using public resources? Imprests were given. Can you imagine putting someone on a chopper for a tour of the New York City? Hon. Senators, I know you are capable. How many of you have flown over the Nairobi City just for sight-seeing? Is that not extravagance? Is that not “party after party”? Hon. Members, each action must be treated with the weight it requires. I said yesterday that this is a governor who has gone rogue. He is a governor competing with extravagancy of the Monarch of King Louis XVI of the 17th Century. Why was King Louis punished? He was punished and thrown out of the monarchy because of the actions of extravagance of his wife. Has that time come for governor Sonko to pay for his sins? Yes, time has come for him to pay for his sins. He must pay for the sins of extravagance. It happened in 1679 in France, why should it not happen on 17th December, 2020 in the City of Nairobi? It should happen."
