    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have listened very carefully to my colleagues who are supporting the Motion to have this process done under Committee and they could not state a single reason for doing so. They say no process is better, but the Committee is better. Barely one year since the governor of Meru, hon. Kawira Mwangaza appeared before the Senate on an impeachment Motion, she is back again. The day that it was ruled in the County Assembly of Meru that the governor had been impeached, headlines were flowing. The conversation was national. Mr. Speaker, Sir, such a matter that has elicited such national interest, is proper as a House that we make the decision to have the Plenary process because it is more transparent and inclusive. Kenyans want to know what is happening in Meru. This process is going to give integrity to this House because it is going to be open. Nothing is being done behind closed doors. A Motion that Sen. Sifuna supports with so much vigour, I cannot be part of it. I must oppose it for reasons best known to me and other colleagues who agree with me. Precedence has been set before of successful Plenary sessions that executed impeachment processes. Some successfully saved the governor and some sent the governor home. Let this House rise to the occasion and do what the country is expecting of us, which is to make this process as open as possible to everyone. I thank you."
