    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. I will be sharing the 30 minutes with my learned friend, Mr. Mari Maranya. In summary, the impeachment Motion before you is the third one in barely a year, presented before the Assembly against the Hon. Governor Kawira Mwangaza. The first impeachment Motion was presented before the Assembly on 22nd November, 2022. It did not reach the Senate because the High Court issued an order preventing the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) from debating it. The second Motion was filed on the 5th December 2022 and was brought to this Assembly. It contained 62 charges of nepotism, legal appointments, usurpation of the Constitution and statutory functions of county organs. It contained allegations on incitement, bullying and vilification of other leaders; a matter now before you. The Motion revolved around disrespect to the Assembly through forceful entry and mobilization of riots against the Assembly; a matter now before you in different particulars. The second Motion involved violation of public finance, management laws; a matter before you, only the facts have changed but the fundamental problem remains. Then, of course, there is a third Motion that came here but did not succeeded. Notably, when we came here last time, the Governor took the posture of an innocent and vulnerable victim of toxic masculinity, harmful patriarchy, gender stereotyping, gender discrimination and political machinations. In short, the Governor took the posture that if something went wrong in Meru, as we submit something has been terribly wrong in Meru for a year now and counting, her defence was “it was not me”. It reminded us of the Shaggy’s song in which a young man is caught engaging in some hunky punky and even though the act is recorded on camera and he is caught in all the evidence, he is singularly responding through and through “It wasn’t me.” The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
