    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion on Impeachment because of many reasons. As a representative of the youth in this House, how many young people in this country can walk into a bank and access a loan of Ksh600 million without guarantees of any sort? This is a representation of impunity. Yesterday, as a national leader, the Deputy President stood before the media to defend his children. I respect that he stood to defend his children, but how many children of this country has he given a chance to access the same benefits, myself included? I cannot access a loan of that amount. This Impeachment Motion is not just an impeachment because of differences in ideology, but it is a symbol of democracy in our country that people who abuse their powers can go home, regardless of their positions. Hon. Speaker, I come from Garissa County. There was a time we lost residents in an accident as they were trying to cross a river because of the flood scandal. Out of the Ksh10 billion he had under his 'pocket,' he only gave us Ksh48 million, disappeared, and never showed up again. What can Ksh48 million do for people who are suffering? He did not even step into Wajir and Mandera Counties, yet he is the Deputy President of the whole country. I support the Impeachment Motion. He must go home and create room for other people to get that position. It might even be the time for other regions to get the position of the Deputy President so that they can also get the same benefits. I can even do a good job."
