    "content": "That if I had an option to ask the Governor a question, I would have asked whether she reported those matters to the police. Impunity breeds in silence. From the submissions, it appears as if everybody in Meru County is mad. We are in a season of madness in Meru. The only sane person in Meru today is the governor and the spouse. This is what has come out of the submissions. Could that be true; that all the great men and women of Meru, including the Deputy Speaker of this House, are in a season of madness and the only lucid person can be the governor? This presupposes and indicates there is a big problem that an impeachment cannot solve. We have a patient with two damaged kidneys. If we take out one kidney, the patient will not survive. You take out the governor and leave the assembly, you have a problem. If you reinstate the kidney, which is the governor, you still have a problem. Article 192 of the Constitution states that where a county governor has irretrievably broken down, that county should be suspended and sent to a fresh election. Even though we do not have the original jurisdiction on this, I want to encourage the citizens of Meru to call for a suspension of the county government; to send Gov. Kawira Mwangaza and the MCAs back to the people. We have been told stories about who is popular and who is not. Finally, let us not forget that in 2010, Nancy Baraza, in her role as the Deputy Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Kenya, on spurious allegations, set a precedent that has been part of our jurisprudence. If we were to go with that threshold, then Hon. Kawira Mwangaza should go home."
