    "content": "First, the impeachment Motion of this governor touches on gender issues. This Committee of 11 people who are going to impeach or not impeach a woman governor has only three women. Even if we are pushing for the two-thirds gender rule, the issues being raised on this debate are gender sensitive. I think it was a bit unfair that that Committee did not put into perspective that perhaps they should have had more women. Another reason for not supporting the Motion is that the governor has already been persecuted by the public. The matters that have been raised here are in the public domain. Everything is out in the public and they have been discussed. In order for us, as a Senate that understands the sensitivity of the matter, we should then provide a platform where we must publicly execute and debate matters and be able to say that we have given a fair hearing and platform. The divergent views that would have been brought to the House by the Plenary way of impeachment, will not be exercised under the Committee. Perhaps the reason I am not supporting this Motion is that the Order Paper says: “The Senate has resolved”. We came hoping that we would have a kamukunji before this or some sort of corroboration."
