    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to speak to this Motion. This evening I have been called upon to make a very difficult decision, a decision that if we sent Governor Kawira Mwangaza home, then her career comes to a grinding halt. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as it has been said, the threshold of an impeachment has been set in Article 181 of the Constitution of Kenya. It has also been well spelt out in the precedents that have been set in the decisions of the High Court and the Court of Appeal in the Wambora’s Case. I thank the County Assembly, of course, it is within their functions to process an impeachment. I look at the charges that have been placed against the Governor of Meru, as a person who sits in the Public Accounts Committee. I looked at the evidence that was adduced in Charge No.1 on Misappropriation and Misuse of County Resources. As a Member who sits in that Committee, we all agree that an Integrated Financial Management Information Systems (IFMIS) extract cannot become evidence as to why and how the Governor of Meru is corrupt on this particular charge. On the Charge No.2, on Nepotism and Related Unethical Practices, when the Counsel and the team from the County Assembly was called upon to come and give evidence-in-chief as to how the Governor of Meru is nepotistic, they told us that it is public knowledge that the people that are in those photos are her relatives."
