    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. Impeachment of a Deputy President is a matter of national and international interest. Based on that, people have to be very careful with what they do with this impeachment. I want to remind the House that we are only one of the many parts of the process. The National Assembly will make its decision. From there, we will go to the Senate and then the courts, if need be. We must isolate personal issues from issues that make sense to Kenyans, so that as a House we do not go for mob justice mentality then at the end of the other stages, we lose. In the past, this House has been thrown under the bus because of this kind of mentality. We make decisions and when they go to the courts, they are nullified. A number of our Acts of Parliament have been declared unconstitutional because, as Members, we come here and shout assuming other people do not watch. Hon. Speaker, what am I saying? I have listened to the grounds of this impeachment Motion, and I listened to my friend, Hon. Mutuse, making the presentation. He tried to justify some of these grounds. I want to pick a few of them, and ask myself whether they meet the expectations in terms of saying that the Deputy President should be impeached on those grounds."
