    "content": "is one telling thing that came from the submissions of counsel, my good friend, Dr. Muthomi Thiankolu that, in fact, the motivation of the MCAs does not matter. I want to try and persuade this House that motivation is everything. The reason why human beings do things is absolutely critical to the doing of those things. This is because motivation sets a goal for you and then you look for a means to get to that particular goal. We have seen the evidence that has been led here, demonstrate clearly that a decision was made that Hon. Kawira Mwangaza had to go as the Governor of Meru County and then steps and plans were put in place to meet that particular goal. That is something that I cannot abide by as a Senator sworn to protect the interests of counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to speak to two analogies that have been used quite extensively by the team from the County Assembly. One is the analogy of the scorpion and the frog. I do not think anyone can ascribe the innocence of a frog in that particular analogy to the County Assembly of Meru. At the very minimum, it is a scorpion being carried by a crocodile on its back because both animals are extremely dangerous from the evidence that we have seen here. Secondly, it is this much repeated song by Shaggy called: “ It wasn’t me. ” In fact, in that particular song, the counsel forgot that there was a collabo; there is another gentleman who is singing in that song as well. That gentleman says that I was caught live; there are photos and there is evidence. That is what we expected from the County Assembly. In the evidence of the photos of this gentleman on the counter in the shower, as the counsel sung, it is difficult for me to get behind the case by the County Assembly. I rest my case."
