    "content": "The Deputy President is reasonably expected to have committed an offence relating to the visits which he makes throughout the country. He said that he visited Elgeyo Marakwet and other parts of the country and was given animals. He said that he kept the animals in his home and he now has a herd. Article 76 of the Constitution clearly indicates that when you receive a gift or a donation, you are supposed to donate it back to the Republic. You do not keep it in your home as your reward. The Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya has committed a corruption offence for which he needs to go home. The Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya is supposed to be above board. He is supposed to be the number two citizen in the country who needs to preach national unity. He is supposed to be the president-in-waiting so that, if anything happens, he takes over the reins of the country. Listening to the utterances that have been made by the Deputy President, for example, the KEMSA case and the affidavit by Dr Andrew, it is very clear that the Deputy President had a conflict of interest in the KEMSA supply case. Article 75 of the Constitution requires all State officers to avoid situations where they are in conflict of interest. As a leader, the Deputy President should be at the forefront in avoiding situations where there is a conflict of interest. Taking into account the proposed 11 grounds for impeachment, I have no doubt in my mind that for his arrogance, breach of the Constitution, defiance, statements and conduct, he is not the truthful man that he pretends to be. We cannot have such a person as the Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya. It is high time that we slayed the dragon of tribalism, ethnicity, and regionalism, and move our nation forward. I support this Motion. The Deputy President of the Republic of Kenya must go and we start a fresh page."
