    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. From the outset, allow me to thank Hon. Mutuse for being courageous and focused. I am sure in the annals of the history of this country and the history of the 13th Parliament, Hon. Mutuse will be appreciated. Having said that, I have also gone through the impeachment clauses. The 11 clauses are cogent, rich in evidence and clearly demonstrate the actions, omissions and commissions of the Deputy President. I have had an opportunity to reflect, because there is one phrase the Deputy President has been using: That he is a truthful man. I went back to how a truthful man is supposed to be described in the Bible, Quran and in civil society. In those definitions, I have missed an iota of resemblance to anything that I can associate with those actions and activities of the Deputy President. As Members of Parliament, our work is to protect the Constitution. Our work is to oversee. Our work is to do one of the things that are being demanded today by this impeachment. In all these clauses, the common denominator is that the Deputy President has abused his office through corruption, tenderpreneuring, disparaging and disobeying his boss, undermining devolution, and by being a threat to our sovereignty.

The other day—and I want to repeat this and you will excuse me for saying it—this country has a very rich history. In 1982, one gallant son from northern Kenya called Gen. Mahmoud saved Kenyans from militarism, and we all appreciate it. He is still alive. In 2007, another general by the name Muhammed Ali saved Kenyans from the effects of the socio- political turmoil of the 2007 post-election violence. In 2024, another son from that region Noordin has also saved this country from the effects and activities of Riggy G and his cohorts. That does not take away the contributions of many other Kenyans. In all these, what I have gathered, and we have been in Parliament together, is that we are doing a favour to Riggy G. We are doing a favour to members of the Executive.
