    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House has gone both ways on matters of impeachment. We have seen this House deal with impeachments the committee and plenary way. I have been an ardent supporter of the committee way because I feel they can interrogate issues more closely, just as Sen. Sifuna said. However, this matter is too weighty to be left on the shoulders of 11 Members. If anything, Members who have been proposed to be in that committee are not even willing. They have said that they do not support the committee way. That includes the proposed Chairman, Sen. Wakili Sigei. More substantively, Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are two matters that inform my decision not to support the committee way. Firstly, as you have correctly put, this is not the first but the third time we are dealing with the impeachment of the Governor of Meru. We, as Senators, have voted on this particular matter in the past. How certain are we that either the people or the Governor of Meru will get justice if we just have 11 of us, including some who have voted for and against this matter? I feel that justice will be served to the people and the Governor of Meru if we look at this matter in plenary. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
