    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am well guided. In the words of Burning Spear, there is a saying that goes, “we are not all that stupid.” I borrow the words of Lucky Dube, the reggae artist that justice, fairness and social equality should be the cornerstone. The reason I am saying this is that we need to ensure that there are principles of natural justice. There was the Hon. Waititu, Hon. Sonko and other governors that we listened to through Plenary. This will give new Members the opportunity to learn because Senate should be a learning curve and will expose them. The committee way is limited. At the resolution of the committee, I heard a misconception where some Members were misleading the House by saying that the Senate will have the second bite at the cherry. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it does not have to because when the Committee sits and agrees that the governor is guilty or not; that matter ends there. We are ready to listen to the Plenary way as we listen to the tunes of guitar, so that we understand and listen keenly. I propose that we go the Plenary way. I have been the champion of the Plenary way on the Floor of the House so that we and Sen. Crystal Asige have that opportunity. I rarely give out my advice pro bono, but today, I do it for free. I inform Members that they will have the opportunity to cross-examine and analyse. Sen. Okiya Omtatah can look at the documentation, so that if someone moves to court, the way Sen. Okiya Omtatah does, they will not question that the Senate did not consider this mater. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I oppose. Let us go the Plenary way. I thank my Chairman; he is always brilliant. Sen. M. Kajwang’ is the man to watch."
