    "content": "Charge 3: Abuse of Office Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will be extremely brief because this is not something new to all colleague Senators here. All the Senators before this House this evening have had an opportunity to handle an impeachment process. They are aware that when you elect to handle an impeachment process by way of Plenary, then you individually get the chance to listen to the merits and the demerits of the case and inform your decision. Therefore, it is not those occasions where I choose or elect to either persuade or dissuade any Senator, in making the decision in one way or the other, in whichever matter that is before the House. All these Senators; the 67 of them, those present before the House and those following this proceeding virtually, have had the opportunity to listen to both parties that are before this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is now my humble duty to request colleague Senators to make a decision that is in the best interest of the people of Meru because that is what is at the heart of our core mandate in accordance to Article 96, the Senate being the custodian of the interest of counties and their governments. With those very few remarks, especially bearing in mind that we have statutory timelines that we have to observe without running into legal challenges, I, therefore, wish to move and request the Senator for Laikipia, Sen. Kinyua to second."
