    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We conform to the directions and Communication that you have also given. I agree with the wisdom of the Senator for Nairobi City County that this is a matter of serious public interest. The matter before us is so weighty. It cannot be left in the hands of 11 people. We need to hear it in plenary. I also plead based on two arguments. Looking at the Communication that you have read, the number of grounds that have been set or founded in this impeachment Motion are 11. From the experience that we have had as a House, this will be the highest number of grounds that we have ever looked at in as far as processing an impeachment Motion is concerned. Secondly, when we dealt with the last impeachment of Governor for Meru County, we were rushing against time and we did not allow Members adequate time to debate and give input. I would not want to get ourselves in that kind of a situation again. Members want to give their contribution and convince others. The reason why we have to debate this Motion is because I can convince the others on why I think the Deputy President should be removed or not. We did not get that opportunity during the last impeachment because the dates that had been gazetted for that impeachment were lapsing that particular day and we had to start voting before 12.00 a.m. You said that we are processing this Motion on Wednesday and Thursday. If we are almost done with the proceedings at 11.30 p.m. on Thursday, we will not have time to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
