    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As per Standing Order No.80, we have the option of establishing a Special Committee or investigating the matter in Plenary. I was the Chairperson for the Special Committee on Impeachment of the Deputy Governor for Siaya County. During the process, we gave the accusers and the Deputy Governor enough time. We sat as a committee through the night looking at all reports. I believe constituting a committee is the best way. Senators have an issue with the six Members from Kenya Kwanza Coalition who sat in December last year investigating the impeachment Motion for Hon. Kawira Mwangaza. The reason they have been nominated by the leadership is that they want them to bring in historical memory so that they can check if the accusations brought are the same. The impeachment process for the Deputy Governor of Siaya County was covered live. The people of Meru County will follow the proceedings because all the media houses will be present to cover the proceedings live the same as having it on Plenary. By proceeding to the Special Committee, we will not lose anything. We will gain because if the committee finds that the allegations are substantiated, then the report will be debated in Plenary. There will be an opportunity for the governor to appear in Plenary. I support this Motion. This is a bipartisan Motion where we need to agree on the constitution of a Special Committee."
