    "content": "That is the position. Maybe, Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can allow me to give a little narration of how we came up with the second Impeachment Motion. After political leaders in Meru felt that the Governor had gone rogue, MCAs were mobilized based on party lines. The first party to do that was the UDA Party. I was called by the UDA county coordinator for a meeting. In that meeting which I attended with the County Assembly Majority Whip of the UDA Party, we met with the Chairperson of MPs caucus, one Hon. Rindikiri, who is also a UDA member and Sen. Kathuri Murungi, who is the Senator for Meru County. We made a decision that we had to communicate to other UDA members that it was the position of the party at that moment that we had to withdraw all the support for the Governor within and without the County Assembly, and that we were to introduce a new impeachment Motion by calling all MCAs who belonged to the UDA Party. We communicated the same and issued a press conference to that effect. Other parties followed suit. They included Jubilee Party, the National Ordinary People Empowerment Union (NOPEU) Party, the Bus Party, and the Democratic Party of Kenya (DP). All the County Assembly parties issued the same directive that Members were to support the impeachment of the governor that we brought to this Senate in the last impeachment Motion."
