    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. I rise on Standing Order No.101(4), which says: “No Senator shall impute improper motive to any other Senator or to a Member of the National Assembly except upon specific substantive Motion of which at least three days’ notice shall be given, calling in question the conduct of this Senator, or Member of the Assembly.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me first of all, extend my sincerest gratitude to you for your empathy beyond sympathy that you have accorded me in this last week which has been excruciating in the hospital. Other Senators were also supportive. I know Sen. Cheruiyot was just joking but he is my captain in soccer and has been very supportive during my time in surgery. I actually left the hospital this afternoon and I am on very strong painkillers to get through this process. It is very disappointing to hear the Senator for Kiambu County imputing that Senators on the Minority side are the ones who have brought this case to this House, and that the Senators from the Minority side are the ones who have come to the Floor to prosecute the Deputy Governor of Siaya County. I have been following this entire process and have been keen not to even call Members of the Special Committee to check on them because of the honour and dignity we give this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it in order to reduce this debate to an issue of Minority versus Majority? Most importantly, is it in order for the Senator for Kiambu County to suggest that it is the Senators from the Minority side, who are demanding for the impeachment of the Deputy Governor for Siaya County?"
