"content": "My position was taken by the Member who was formerly my deputy, while that of the Deputy was taken by the Mover of the current Motion, Hon. Zipporah. You remember, during the second impeachment Motion, the Governor had only 10 Members and when I was tasked to stay for the cause, I walked out and the other two Members followed me, so we became 13. Immediately after the changes were made and communicated in the Assembly, the leadership of the County Assembly of Meru went further ahead and de-whipped the 13 of us from three key select committees, that is, the Committee on Budget and Appropriations, Public Accounts Committee and Implementation Committee. Thereafter, every person of the 13 who held a leadership position in any of the Committees of the Assembly, was removed from those positions through a vote of no confidence. Therefore, members lost the chairmanship and vice chairmanship of committees. Also, those who served in the Speaker's Panel initially were removed. The Speaker's Panel was then expanded to 18 members, so that it can incorporate more members out of the 56, who are not earning any responsibility allowance in that Assembly."
