    "content": "When he was sworn in, I did not know him. The only thing I knew about him was he was a personal assistant. Now, the chickens have come home to roost. I support his impeachment in the same manner in which over 92 per cent of my constituents in Turkana Central have agreed that we do the impeachment. The impeachment is in two parts. There is the anti-corruption part of it and there is the ethical or the ethics part of it. I want to speak on the ethics. Here is a man who is full of himself. He is a very proud person and does not even know what to say. He speaks in manner that does not depict him as the Deputy President of this country. The Bible in the book of James brings out the bad part of the tongue. It says, the tongue is this part of the body that is a world of evil. It is a fire. The tongue corrupts the whole body. That is what the Bible says in the book of James. At this juncture, as a UDA Member in the Kenya Kwanza Government, we are not in agreement to work together with the Deputy President. I am not in agreement as a Member who has subscribed to the party that I am not be able to walk with the Deputy President because we have to agree. What we are processing today here is a divorce. We are processing a divorce because under Article 56 of the Constitution, this is a man who will not be able to speak for the minorities. He is a man who will not speak for the marginalised. We are processing a divorce because this is akin to King Nebuchadnezzar. A man who was like everything to the Chaldeans in the City of Babylon. Kenya wants to unite: Kenya wants to kill the animal called tribalism. This is not the Deputy President that Kenya requires to kill the devil of tribalism. This man is not ready to unite us. He does not know the El Molo, Daasanach or Merile communities of this country. He has never been to Turkana and does not know the Turkana community exist in this country. Therefore, this man cannot unite Kenya in the Office of Presidency. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support his impeachment."
