    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have had the opportunity to listen to colleague Senators. The views are far and wide as you would imagine. Many agree while others disagree with what has been spoken to. I plead with the House that immediately after this procedure we conclude the Impeachment Procedure Bill. We cannot be the House that is castigating county assemblies for not having lived up to the dictates of our Constitution, yet as a Senate for three terms, we have not guided our county assemblies on how to properly carry out an impeachment. It is my humble submission that the County Assembly of Meru did their job exceptionally well. There are certain charges amongst the seven that the county assembly has proved beyond a reasonable doubt. Unfortunately, we find ourselves in such a situation. One senator has said, damned if you do, damned if you do not. I want to reiterate as I conclude, what I prescribed earlier in my moving notes. Either way, whether we save Governor Kawira or impeach her, the Meru people will still need the guidance of this House. There is no easy way out of the current situation. The failure that exists in Meru County is far and beyond either saving or impeaching a particular governor. Therefore, I request our colleagues to conclude this exercise and cast their votes with their conscience. Listen to what the people of Meru are"
