    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir and Members of the Senate. When we come down to cross-examining the witnesses that will be called by the County Assembly and our witnesses, you will be surprised at how far the person they are describing is from what they have described him. You will be surprised by their use of exaggerated adjectives. You will realize that the Deputy Governor is, indeed, a man of integrity, a Christian and a man of conscience. I would like to address the five counts. I know there is repeated contention that they are four, but they are five. The first one is whether or not he took a bribe from one Dennis Misati. The second one is whether he gave a bribe to one Lucy Wahito. The third one is whether he threatened one Dennis Misati. The fourth one is whether he misused the staff of the County Assembly and the fifth one is whether he misused his authority to have his brother arrested. On the first count, the allegation is that the Deputy Governor received a sum of--- In some paragraphs of their claim, they say he received Kshs799,000. In others, they say he received Kshs800,000 which was meant to be a bribe to enable Dennis Misati get a job. In the introduction of the said Dennis Misati, he is described as a 37 year old gentleman. Our case will be this; that the sum of Kshs800,000 was received by the Deputy Governor. However, that amount was a refund of money he had lent to the father of Dennis Misati. We will be calling the father of Dennis Misati to come and confirm that, indeed, he received that money from the Deputy Governor in the period around October-November, 2022."
