    "content": "Apart from the mood of the House, there is a lot of sensationalization on this matter of impeachment, with severe allegations being thrown by both parties. If we reduce this to a Committee, others might end up arguing that it is a clandestine move to save or impeach the governor. Therefore, in my view, I think it is best if we carry out the exercise in plenary, so that we can sit here. Those who would be patient enough to sit here will listen to the allegations either being substantiated or not and the entire country and the world will be able to observe. This is a time when we take some matters very seriously. I have received almost Kshs300 in one-shilling each, as “greetings” by the people of Meru. When I sit here to deal with issues of impeachment, I deal with matters that are brought before me. We need to realise that the County Assembly is the one that impeaches the governor. The Senate sits as a jury. Therefore, that misconception out there that the Senate is the one that impeaches the governor should be corrected. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks I oppose the Motion and vote for this process to go on in plenary. I thank you."
