    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to also make a comment on the way forward regarding the impeachment of the Siaya Deputy Governor. Devolution needs to be protected. Since Senators have a say on the impeachment of either governor or deputy governor, it is important that we move together as a House. This issue needs a bipartisan approach, so that we do not appear to be competing on which method should be used. Looking at the list that has been presented by the SBC, through the Senate Majority Leader, I am confident that these great men and women Senators will handle this process without any problem because they have a lot of experience. I served with Sen. Omogeni and Sen. Kisang, among others, in the National Assembly. I support because I have confidence in the Committee. I only urge or request them to listen to both sides seriously. Let them listen to the Deputy Governor of Siaya and Members of County Assembly (MCAs) of Siaya who have impeached him. Everybody should get justice in the process. Mr. Speaker, Sir, another issue is about the wrangles on the other side of the House. As you have put it, I also urge them to sit down and agree on how they will manage their coalition. If they feel that they cannot manage themselves, then I request the Jubilee Party team to come to this side, with their body and spirit, and we shall accommodate and give them whatever they need including committees. This is because they are really being mistreated. Sen. Olekina, you are laughing today but, tomorrow, you might be in fire. You know where you came from just three months ago. Whatever happened to Sen. Dullo might happen to you. You might not know what will happen in the next elections. Maybe the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party will be on this or the other side. Therefore, let us always be our brothers’ and sisters’ keepers and avoid this---"
