    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I know people are excited to go on holiday but being cantankerous should not be one of the excitements. Earlier on, I had indicated clearly that I support this Motion. This will not be my first impeachment proceedings or rather removal proceedings that I participate in. I have sat here and I know the reasons why I proposed that we go the Committee way. I sat on this very chair when we were removing Governor Mike Sonko and my colleague who was sitting on the right – the then Senate Majority Leader, said to me that this is a political process. He said that it was not a legal matter. On that day, I was naive. I sat there, took my pen and paper and was following the arguments which were being made by the legal counsels for both parties. Ultimately, when it came to the point of voting, I was not given an opportunity. Our Standing Orders did not give us an opportunity to contribute and say the reasons why we were voting to impeach Governor Mike Sonko or the reasons as to why we were not voting to impeach him. It was simple; come and vote. Article 123 of the Constitution of Kenya--- and this is to inform my dear sister, the nominated Senator. What is her name?"
