    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a House of debate and procedure. This is a granary of wisdom where every profession is represented. We have experienced advocates of the high court, doctors, accountants, bishops, and aspiring men of the cloth. I think Hon. Junet qualifies to be a sheikh. This House draws people from different professions with vast experience in different fields. This is a House where, after a debate, the majority will have their way, and the minority will have their say. When this Motion was brought before this House, the majority had their way, but thereafter, the procedures took centre stage. Procedures were followed, and both the minority and majority proposed their names, and an ad hoc committee was formed. They elected a Chairperson, Hon. Naomi Waqo, who is a Reverend. She is a person of great integrity and has served this country in her capacity as a Reverend, a Cannon, a Senator, and as the Deputy Majority Whip of this House. All the proceedings were in full glare of the cameras. We all watched what was happening. It was drama. What we heard is similar to what was brought before the matrimonial court the other day. There is no way a House of competence could have admitted the evidence that was presented. There was nothing watertight that was presented. As much as Hon. Wamboka tried to execute his role as a Member of Parliament to oversee, he did not manage to raise a strong case. He also did not manage to grow his profile by pushing through a watertight case to have Hon. Linturi impeached. I support the Report by this Committee because I believe in it. As a House of debate and one that believes in procedure, we are done with this matter and should proceed with other business. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
