    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I am the Senator for Siaya. I will not speak much on this issue. I have 100 percent confidence in the team which has been selected to look into this matter. I have seen senior people of very fair minds and who have served in very senior positions in this House and elsewhere. I am sure that justice will be done. When two bulls are fighting, it is usually the grass that suffers. The grass are the people of Siaya. The people of Siaya expect to get services from their county and those services cannot be efficiently and sufficiently delivered when there is this kind of a situation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the time given to resolve this matter is reasonable, and I hope that those who have been given this noble and heavy responsibility to resolve this matter will come up with resolutions that will give justice. As stated here, the role of this Committee will be quasi-judicial, which means that as you are selected there, you are going to be like a judicial officer or a judge. When you are a judge, you are not supposed to be under any influence or any pressure. You will look at the facts given objectively and come up with a resolution that will be satisfactory to the person who is being accused because he knows why he is being accused, and to the people who are accusing him. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Senator for Siaya, I do not want to express myself because I know what others do not know. I do not want to say anything which can prejudice the investigations on this matter. I, therefore, support the Select Committee---"
