    "content": "Sen. Wetangula has captured the history. In Governor Wambora’s impeachment one and two where I served as the Vice-Chairperson, there were no allegations. We have a big report explaining how we made our decision. Our final decision at Windsor Hotel was not even known to the staff because we made our decision in the Golf field. We asked the secretariat to write the report and inserted the last sentence ‘not found guilty’ on the last day. Even when we brought the report to the Chamber, Members were not sure whether we found the Governor guilty or not guilty. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the advantages of a committee are many. This is not the first committee to be constituted. You have constituted standing committees in this House and nobody has questioned the legitimacy of the existing committees. Therefore, it would be erroneous to argue that a special committee is wrong for the impeachment of a governor, but the rest of the committees are good. I agree with my colleagues that let us look at it from the merits. Is it good for us to deal with it through a committee? You remember I kept standing even in the case for the Governor of Kiambu. I insisted that the committee was the best way, but there was a problem. With regard to the Members of the Committee, whom I had selected, people formed an opinion that it was outrightly a committee to save the Governor. It was because of what was orchestrated by the likes of Sen. Sakaja that we ended up throwing out the whole Committee.
