    "content": "The first step towards success is taking responsibility for your actions. The measures of one's character is attributed to the ability to manage the responsibilities that have been bestowed and granted unto you. What is your role if you cannot be held accountable and always blame others? When others are making that mistake and embezzling funds, where are you? What actions have you taken? We will bring cases where the County Assembly has attempted to hold the Governor accountable. Reports have been made before the County Assembly, summons issued and recommendations made, yet the Governor declines with contempt, ridicule and spite on the part of the County Assembly. That is the case that we have. Hon. Senators, holding people accountable is a show of love. When you hold somebody accountable, you are simply saying, that you are capable of doing bigger things. This is not out of malice or any personal vendetta. It is to show the love that the County Assembly has for the people of Meru. We will present before you evidence that public participation was effectively carried out and 85 per cent of the participants gave a verdict that supports the County Assembly's case. We will give you evidence that 49 Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) voted in support of the Motion. These are not the Governor's relatives neither do they have any fraternal association with her. They are people who are simply executing their mandate as bestowed on them by the Constitution. That is the simplicity of the case that we have. We will bring you evidence of a witness who is currently displaced from her matrimonial home, courtesy of the irresponsibility of the Governor and her inability to manage how she relates to the members of the public. We will bring you the sniper's wife case, which is before the County Assembly. Not to prosecute the murder case, but to prosecute chapter six of the Constitution in respect to the Governor's inability to manage the county. Hon. Senators, as I pen off and invite my learned friend, we invite objectivity in the case. You shall be brought evidence by Governor Kawira. Former individuals who moved this Motion before for her impeachment have now been staged as witnesses. What happened? What donned to this MCAs who just the other day, a few months ago, were moving for the impeachment of the Governor? Now they have become darlings of the Governor. Is that a conduct that is consistent with innocence, integrity, accountability and transparency? We will bring you that evidence. We will show you why this is a serious turn of events. Hon. Senators, kindly, allow me to invite Mr. Mawira for further submissions. I am most humbled."
