(Dr.) Langat of Bomet County whose rivers flood our place and I wish we could reverse the course of those rivers-- He was probably voting about the political rightness of the process or the legal correctness of the verdict. So, all that is what was captured. When I say this people might think I take this stuff lightly. Impeachment is the replacement of the vote of no confidence. In fact, during the era when we had vote of no confidence, it did not matter whether you did wrong or not. The measure was how confident were the people in your leadership? How was your leadership fitting in the future discourse that was going on? So, you will have an executive or a minister resign because perhaps those who had put them in that place have lost confidence in their conduct. So, these are very many problems and I have to juggle them. I am just about to make my decision when I am about here, but I need to consult with my brother Sen. Omogeni. I hope that out of that consultation, I will be able to make the right decision. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to say that before we as a House constituted this Committee, there was scepticism as to whether a Committee was equal to what is expected of Senate. That scepticism was said inside this House by ourselves and was riddled about out there by the media was the subject matter of a very animated and robust debate out there. Today you can see that the Committee has brought a report that there are various opinions about, but the quality and its content has not been impugned. That is an accolade we must pay to the entirety of that Committee. Most Committees when their reports are brought here, there are loud murmurs about what may have transpired that may not have been part of the Committee were considerations that may have been out there that are not part of the Committee work. In future, let us all trust continue trusting in our committees and we hold them accountable. We are all in one Committee or the other. The outputs or products of those Committees have never been doubted or talked of in a demeaning manner because that is how the House works. The House works through Committees. This one has done a good job. You can be on the other side or this side and debate about it the way you think without imputing improper motive. I want to thank the Committee and the House and urge all of us to give serious consideration when voting for this report and serious considerations when looking at it in terms of process which is about procedure as prescribed in terms of content which is about the evidence that was given to us and in terms of output which is contained in the report. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to rest and now look for my decision."
