    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir and Hon. Members. As I said, the Governor advised that I could only give any legal advice on a need basis. As an advocate, you cannot solicit to give advice. You can only wait to be requested for the advice. When the second impeachment came, around November, 2023, the Governor called me in her residence. Before that, I was in Kakamega. She called me through the telephone and asked for certain legal advice, which, as I said before, I am restricted through advocate-client relationship. Out of the respect that I have for the Governor, I will not disclose the advice that she required. Soon after the impeachment is when she called and asked me to resign. So, which means, our relationship did not last long. I was shocked yesterday while in Diani where we were attending an annual conference for the Law Society of Kenya (LSK), when I was sent a copy of that document. It was the first time that I saw that document. I had to travel with a small baby at night, so that I could come and see whether I would be allowed to clear my name out of that document. When I came, I submitted before that I went to the Parliament Police Station. The Officer Commanding Station (OCS called the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and they said I can only make a report in Meru, where the issue had arose. I said earlier that I am going to pursue it because I believe that the truth shall set me free. Even if a document examiner was to come here, for sure he will exonerate me. I am speaking the truth and only fearing God. 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."
