    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second the Motion by the Senate Minority Whip, Sen. Olekina. Allow me to begin with the words that you used in your Communication this afternoon; that, in fact, this is a fundamental process in good governance and upholding of democracy. I remember you calling us to order and to treat this particular process with the highest level of responsibility. I do not take my duties as a Senator of Nairobi City County lightly, especially not when it comes to the process of impeachment of a governor. I consider myself more a debating machine than a voting machine. I do not want to allude anything on any other Senator. However, as for me, the reason I am in this House is first to debate before questions are put to the vote. The colleagues who insist on straight up going to the vote are doing themselves a disservice. There is a song that I like by Emeli Sande. In her song, she says, ‘if you can never sing your song, how are we supposed to learn it?’"
