This is also a very important Bill because you will agree with me that there has been so much drama about impeachment in the country. All the time, there have been attempts by MCAs, members of the leadership to occasion impeachment even when it was not necessary. With this kind of a law being enacted, it will clearly state what reasons will inform what exactly would be the misconduct that would inform the decision for impeachment. This should be defined in a manner that is simple and understood. What would be required to have been committed by a person so that impeachment can take place? Like my colleagues have said, we have seen some impeachment motions having taken place, then they are overturned because some are politically motivated. When we differ, like Hon. John Waluke mentioned in the case of Bungoma, when the Senator of Bungoma disagrees with the Governor, he goes ahead to organise for impeachment.
