    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. To address the first question, there is indeed a lot of political infighting in Meru County. This can be attributed mostly to the losers during the previous general elections. I have been asked if the people of Meru County are being served by the Meru County Assembly and the MCAs. I will come to that. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I state that the people of Meru have not received the best from the County Assembly of Meru because the MCAs have been reduced to participating in political infighting instead of focusing on serving the people of Meru. On the question of who those people are; I previously mentioned what has been transpiring in that county. However, even for the reason of safety of my life, I would want not to mention the names expressly in this Senate. It is as dangerous as that. During the public participation, my experience as an MCA I would say the first impeachment Motion was held at the County Assembly where MCAs and staff were present. The attendance was well. For the second impeachment Motion, the public participation was held at the sub-county level where MCAs were present as well. They participated and took minutes although the attendance had started to go down. During this third impeachment Motion, the attendance was very poor. Also, MCAs attended very few venues of the public participation. Therefore, the public participation meetings were conducted by MCAs. What I can attribute to the low attendance during this impeachment Motion was the feeling of the people of Meru were really tired of these fights. If you could listen to many of them, because, personally, I listened to my electorate, they wanted these fights to cease and to give every elected leader a chance to serve. When it comes to removing them from office, we will do so during the general elections because they are about just three years away from now. Thank you."
