    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I hope my time was frozen when the intervention came. Indeed, Mr. Speaker, Sir, our case is that simple. That what you are being fed with are lies that were created while we were still on the Floor of this House defending the previous Motion. So, my choice of the word “lie” was very deliberate. The argument is that the County Assembly has created and told the lie and repeated it so many times that it started sounding like the truth. They actually went ahead and believed that lie and want everyone else in this room and the entire country to believe in it. When we look at them in the eye and tell them it is a lie, they get bitter and mad. They accuse Senators of being bribed and the Governor because they want us to believe a lie that they have created and believe in. Hon. Senators, Shakespeare states that; a rose by any other name shall still smell as sweet. No matter how much mud they smear on the Governor, she will remain clean and blameless. All they are hoping is that they will bring the Governor so many times here and that they will keep on repeating one thing so that we all believe that, indeed, there might be some truth in it. It does not make it the truth just because they keep on repeating that same lie. Hon. Senators, you are sitting here as judges. Analyze and scrutinize the evidence. Ask questions to the witnesses that we will produce here. If it does not add up, send them back. Tell them it is a lie and the fact that you are repeating that lie will not make it the truth. I yield to my learned friend to proceed."
