    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute. I rise to oppose the Motion. This matter should be heard in plenary because it is more serious than we think it is. It is a precedent-setting matter because Governor Kawira Mwangaza is being brought to this House for the third time. However, it is the fifth time she has been impeached. It is important, particularly during this time in the country, that we operate and discuss issues transparently. Every Senator should be given an opportunity to contribute to the allegations from an informed point of view. I suggest that every Senator prepares and reads properly. Let the Constitution and the law guide us. Let us ensure that we deliver justice in this matter to whichever of the groups that are coming. As we do so, I request that you pay attention to something Sen. Sifuna has raised. Sen. Sifuna raises the fact that the plenary may inhibit everybody's participation. As we discuss this, we should pay attention to the fact that nominated Members can also contribute to this debate even if they are not going to vote. I suggest we manage the time, so that nominated Senators are given ample time to contribute to this debate. The last time we had an impeachment by plenary, a few of us tried to put our hands up, but could not contribute. I know it might have been because of time, however, I am putting this out there, that we consider that the Senate comprises 67 Senators. I, therefore, support the plenary way."
