    "content": "Well guided. Under Article 123 and my colleague, Sen. Methu, has already spoken about it; you cannot tell us that if today I, as a specially elected Member, can vote for the impeachment of a Governor at the committee stage, yet the same Member cannot vote for the impeachment of a Governor at a plenary stage, but can still go ahead and nominate five members to that committee. I feel this is double standards in application of this Standing Order. I urge this House and the leadership that, perhaps, there is need to relook at this provision before I probably come with a court order. I hope I will not go there. However, if Articles 145 and 7 of the Constitution allow me to impeach the President, I do not understand why then I cannot impeach a Governor in plenary, but allowed to or not to impeach a governor in committee. Thirdly, this issue is very weighty. The Governor of Meru County will be appearing before us for the third time. I urge my colleague Senators to be very fair and do the right thing. Let us allow every Senator in this House to have an opportunity to listen to these charges, contribute and make a very informed decision to either the removal or confirming of those charges. Thank you."
