    "content": "You will be told that the threshold was not met. You will be told that the allegations that were levelled have not been proved. I stand to beseech you. The allegations were not rebutted; not one of them. When the governor took stand to answer, he took us on a rally of how he had to audit his predecessor. That was not the charge before this Senate. When he stood, he told us that there were these disputes, there was payment of bursary, it was totally in a different financial year. Even if it were, he tells us, this money was requisitioned, but I took it back to the consolidated fund one year and two months later. That is the evidence that was laid. Hon. Senators, as I yield to my two colleagues, you are reminded of the good book of Solomon, Ecclesiastes. There is a time for everything. We are equally reminded that the wage of sin is death. We are not asking you to kill the good. I do not also think in the land of good, but not so honourable. We are not going to kill him, but we are only telling you to save Nairobi. The only County that does not need to die is Nairobi City County. As I take my seat, I leave you with this question, where does the arc of moral universe bend? Someone told me and I remember, I am also guided by my mentor that the arc of moral universe bends towards justice. Justice for Nairobi City County, Hon. Mike Mbuvi Sonko, must go. Justice for Nairobi, and I yield. It is Marie Antoinette issue of the 1789 where you will ask for bread and you are told go and buy cakes. Someone dances and tells us party after party. Sad is the day that the people of Nairobi lined up to elect a governor who runs on the account that I am fighting for the poor, but uses the poor to amass him wealth. For the advocates and jurists who are here, you will remember that it is also immoral for you to amass wealth rudimentarily. That is the rudimental nature that Nairobi has been run. Should we continue? I say no. Whatever you will be told, when you later close our case, we invite you. It is time to take the count. Let us take the count. The count is “Sonko must go.”"
