    "content": "this House, we do it through the Committees of Public Accounts and Public Investments. It is not by accident that such emotive issues are taken to Committees. Today we are deciding whether the Governor of Meru County should be tried yet she is on trial already. Whether she should be tried in the Committee of the Whole or through this Special Committee. Learning from traditions, customs and practices of this House, the natural thing would be we drink from the glass of wisdom of the Members of Parliament who came before us. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my second comment is that the people of Meru County and the entire Republic of Kenya are anxiously waiting for what we are doing, glued to their television sets waiting to see and following what we are doing. They would like to find out if Senators can rise to the apex enough to be trusted not with impeaching a Governor, but with a trial of removing a President, if such a day were to come. This is what the dress rehearsal is all about in the eyes of Kenyans. If what Sen. Orwoba has said is true, she should not blame the plenary. She has a majority leader who went through a process that informed him to take certain people on this side and leave others. Let her not bring it here. This also applies to the Minority side. The matter is so important to us, otherwise, we would be cat-walking today if we thought that we are meeting to make decisions on gender. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have read all the charges and none of them are about gender. They are about issues we do not know about."
