    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to speak to this particular Motion. From the onset, I oppose the Motion to subject this investigation before a committee. This is not the first time that the governor is appearing before this House nor is it the first investigation on an impeachment Motion brought before this House. From the time the Senate was founded, it has considered 13 impeachment Motions. Out of 13 impeachment Motions, three were considered in Plenary while the other 10 were considered through Committees. There is no harm if this one goes to Plenary. That is why I am opposing the Motion. The claims that if the matter goes before Plenary, appropriate investigations will not be done is not founded on any basis. The team of Senators in this House whether from the Minority or Majority side will apply their minds and investigate on the evidence that will be brought before the House and subject the governor to an inquiry. She shall be given an opportunity to defend herself. There is no basis that there will be a better outcome if it goes before a committee rather than the Plenary. That is the main reason why I wish this particular impeachment was dealt with in Plenary. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
