    "content": "If it is strictly a legal question, of course, the law was changed a long time ago. Spouses do not take responsibility for the actions of the others. However, that is as far as the legalese and the splitting of hairs is concerned. The matter before you is not about criminal or civil liability in the court of law. It is about accountability and the values in our Constitution. The Governor perpetually provides the forum through which a spouse is making inflammatory utterances, that could easily lead to violence as we showed you. These functions are hosted by the Governor and on each occasion, she does not disown those statements. In the case of musical performances, we will show the Governor even dancing and enjoying the music, demonstrating to the huge crowds “ Wenye wivu wajinyonge. ” That is why when you read the Motion before you, it is not talking just about specific acts of the Governor, but also complicity and condoning. If we were in a court of law, we would call it aiding and abetting. Since it is not a court of law, we are choosing a language complicity and connivance in things. First of all, it is a program; a session held by the Governor. In a court of law and our laws on ethics and integrity, there is a provision for acting through others. In this case, we suggest to you that the Governor was acting, as was the case before when we were here, through her husband. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
