    "content": "office? Should she not be held to account? Is she not bringing that office to disrepute? We submit that particular charge has been sufficiently proved. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the question of the appointment of chairpersons, again we prove that we have been able to dispose of our burden of not proving this allegation beyond reasonable doubt but on balance of probability; that yes, Governor Kawira has crippled the operations of Meru County by blatantly failing, ignoring or neglecting to execute her functions as the CEO of Meru County. That amounted to the violation of Section 4 of the Public Appointments Act that requires that when the governor is bestowed with the responsibility of a duty to follow the provisions of the law. Can she be acquitted? How many times is Governor Kawira going to commit transgressions and get away with them? When she gets away with transgressions, where do we leave the people of Meru County? They deserve justice. Should there be no balance between the people of Meru County and where should the balance lie? How should the balance swing and in whose favour is the balance swinging? I suggest, propose and submit that the balance swings in favour of the people of Meru County. They deserve justice before this House. They are crying out for justice and they are looking upon you to dispense with justice. There cannot be justice by sending governor Kawira back to Meru. The only justice that can be served is telling her; you have failed in your duties, you have neglected your duties, you have violated the Constitution and you do not know what the Constitution dictates. Remember, she swore to defend this Constitution but she is one of the greatest transgressors of the same document that she is seeking solace and reprieve from. Hon. Senators, Governor Kawira has come before you with dirty hands. She deserves no favour or kindness before this House. She is not even remorseful that a child was born in a karai when there is an adjacent health facility. If there will be any other reason for sending Governor Kawira home, please remember the fate of that particular child and the mother, who got embarrassed on that day. Remember the interpretation that was done that men and women had to make sure that young children do not go near that naked woman to see her nakedness. How many embarrassments will this House be treated to? Is that not something that we all need to take cognizance of? Was that video not proving failure of service delivery? Who is responsible for delivering those services if not Governor Kawira who has proved on oath that she has failed? Who else should we hold accountable? Should she even be allowed to hide behind the cultural card?"
