    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. Let me also add my voice to this important Motion on Impeachment. Let me start by saying that I support the Motion to impeach the Deputy President. It should be understood that this is a Motion by which this House is attempting to save the country from a bad, divisive leader. Allow me to thank the mover of the Motion, Hon. Mutuse, for the courage he has shown. I also thank the 291 Members who have signed it. I call it courage because for a very long time, Kenyans, including the President, have been helplessly watching as the Deputy President moves around the country, dividing it into shares on tribal lines. Hon. Speaker, let me give my reasons for supporting the Motion. Firstly, in 2022, the country suffered a terrible drought. The Government responded by providing relief to the pastoralist communities, most of whom could not feed their families. The Deputy President took most of that relief food to areas that were not affected by the drought. Kenyans should understand this is not a Motion or an impeachment against a tribe. Instead, it is a Motion to impeach an individual who, in the words of the Hon. Leader of the Majority Party, is a black man with a black heart. This is a man who has shown that he does not care about the country, but his interest is in a small region. He is driven by self-interest and not because he loves that region. We have seen that he has amassed wealth for himself, not the region. Therefore, Hon. Speaker, I support."
