    "content": "Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Immediately after the first Impeachment Motion came to this honourable Senate and all the charges were still unsubstantiated, we went back to Meru. The President of this country, His Excellency, Dr. William Samoei Ruto and the Deputy President initiated a reconciliation between the Assembly and the Executive. The team from the Meru County Assembly led by the Speaker and the team from the Meru County Executive led by the Governor, stayed at the office of the Deputy President for three days. We resolved all the matters that had brought us to the first impeachment Motion. Therefore, when we went back to Meru from February, we had a cordial working relationship between the Executive and the Assembly. That is the time that the Assembly approved budgets for the School Feeding Programme, the One-Cow-One Family Programme and so many others. However, immediately the political class sat down and maybe felt that the governor had gone rogue, they started mobilising MCAs, insinuating to us that it was time to remove the Governor from the office. Many MCAs were reluctant because initially they had a good working relationship with the Governor. However, we were mobilised along the political party lines. That is when we were assured that this time, the Governor of Meru County will not come back to Meru as the governor."
