    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As a staunch defender of women and women rights, I stand to oppose the Motion that has been tabled by Sen. Olekina. I have been on record talking about fair hearing and transparency. Wherever Governor Kawira Mwangaza is seated, watching and following, I believe that I speak on behalf of her thoughts today, that she wants to come to the public finally to defend herself and tell us what is really happening. The Plenary offers her that opportunity. As women leaders, we are tired of people insinuating that we are flower girls and are being protected. Let her come to plenary and defend her leadership and what she thinks or assumes is good governance. The women leaders of this country are tired of being assumed. I, therefore, support that we go the Plenary way. Secondly, since the last report on Gov. Kawira’s impeachment was tabled; how many of the 67 Senators have actually read it? Can they tell us what the grounds of letting her go were? We all know that we trust the committees and their leadership to do the job. Therefore, when the report is tabled, we trust that the committee has done a good job. For once, especially for us new Senators, we want to interrogate all questions that are being raised concerning her impeachment. I stand here as a staunch defender, a devoted and committed woman leader who really supports women leadership. We would like to see Governor Kawira in Plenary so that she can speak on her own behalf and even defend women leaders who are defending her out there. If she is found guilty, I will be the first one to say this woman must go home. If she is found innocent, I will be the first one yet again to walk with her in the corridors and show people that women leaders given a chance they can deliver. I do not think there is an issue on what we are debating. Let Governor Kawira come to Plenary and defend her position. I thank you."
