    "content": " Hon. Speaker, thank you very much. Again, allow me to clarify just one issue before I proceed to support this Motion. The Deputy President has accused me of bias, indicating that I cannot preside over these impeachment proceedings. I want to confirm that when… (technical hitch) . Okay, thank you. I confirm that I am not biased at all. I made the statements as the Member of Parliament of Uasin Gishu County. Not as a Deputy Speaker sitting on the Speaker’s Chair. You can only accuse me of bias if I make those statements from the Speaker’s Chair. I am first a Member of Parliament before I am Deputy Speaker. If the law contemplates a situation where I am gagged as Deputy Speaker, that law would expect me to resign like the substantive Speaker does in that case. I now want to proceed to support the Motion, speaking as an ordinary Member of Uasin Gishu County. Not as Deputy Speaker. I have a few points to point out.

This is contrary to Article 10 of the Constitution and our national values.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
