    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir and Hon. Senators. It is true that I stated that this impeachment Motion that has been brought to this House started being planned immediately after the second one failed. I have narrated what transpired previously. You have all seen video clips especially alluding to the Mover, indicating that even if the Senate acquits the Governor today, they are ready to bring more Motions up to maybe six or seven times. This is the character of the Meru County Assembly especially because the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) are not being set free to exercise their democratic right. Unless that is reversed expect to see more impeachment Motions in this Senate just in case the Governor is acquitted. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, however, if that is addressed, I want to assure you that this will be the last impeachment Motion to come to this House because the Governor has proved that she is ready to work with other Members. About my efforts to reach others; yes, I have done so severally. When you approach anyone in the Assembly, they tell you that they do not have any problem working with the Governor. However, when we come to support her, we lose the privileges of the Assembly. That single fact holds many Members in abeyance for supporting the Governor. I believe if she is acquitted and this Senate helps us address these issues in Meru County, you will see that the Governor will be ready and willing to work with each and every MCA. Nothing proves that more than the evidence that has been placed before this Senate that the Governor herself and the Executive team have agreed to allocate Kshs33 million for each and every ward, which was a bone of contention previously for the Ward Fund allocation. Therefore, I believe if the Senate finds it objective depending on the facts and evidence that have been placed before it to acquit the Governor, there will be peace in Meru County."
