    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As a House, we have a very challenging responsibility. We have an onerous task before us which is to be the equivalent of the High Court; to sift through evidence, listen to submissions, look at facts as they are, and decide. Our decision may ultimately send a Governor home or give a lease of political life to that Governor. It has not escaped the attention of this House that the County Assembly of Wajir, by numbers of slightly more than 30 out of about 40 MCAs agreed to forward the request of impeachment to this House. It has also not escaped the attention of this House that a Committee appointed by this House unanimously decided that impeachment or confirmation of the charges was the way to go. Several charges were brought before this House and most of them fell by the wayside. Only one charge has been left standing. In my shallow and hollow analysis, it appears to be the least grave charge. That is what appears to be, but nevertheless, it is a charge and the Committee has come forth and said it is worthy of impeachment. That is what is before us. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was looking at the Report before us and came by the view of impeachment from other jurisdictions. The one that caught my attention is the one of Philippines, where Sen. Santiago opined that impeachment is a quasi-judicial and quasi- political process."
