    "content": "I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues and I feel we should go the plenary way. This is because, we have twice prosecuted impeachment matters here in the plenary. The last time Governor Kawira was brought here, we went the plenary way and we made a decision to retain her as the Governor of Meru County. Later on, there were impeachment proceedings of the Deputy Governor of Kisii and the Plenary impeached him. I am driving to the point that this House has proved itself that it can impeach and it can also stop an impeachment, depending on the evidence that is tabled before this House. The competency or otherwise of the plenary has already been proven. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other reason that makes me support the plenary proceedings on this matter is that it accords all Senators an opportunity to train on how to carry out impeachment proceedings. Some of the evidence that will be tabled here by the County Assembly of Meru might have a bearing on what happens in our counties. This will be an eye-opener to all Senators, so that they can see what transpires in counties, good or otherwise. I therefore strongly feel that we should give every Senator an opportunity to participate in these proceedings, so that they can get training and also see whether there is a bearing on what will be brought here and what happens in our counties. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand here to support the idea of having plenary and oppose the Motion on the Floor."
