    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for according to me this opportunity. From the onset, the Minority side supports the Motion for the removal from office, by impeachment, of Hon. Rigathi Gachagua, because he is unfit to hold office in Kenya. Yesterday, it was clear to all Kenyans who saw for themselves the danger this country is in. The impeachment of the Deputy President is not merely a procedural step but rather, it is a reflection of our commitment to accountability and the rule of law in this country. The integrity of the Government and the stability of our nation is at stake as we speak this evening. National security is at stake. The economy is at stake. Since the Deputy President assumed office, we have witnessed nothing else but abuse of power, discrimination against communities, insubordination, disregard for the two levels of government, corruption, bullying and many other actions that undermine the rule of law, as well as actions that are unethical, illegal and that severely breach public trust as contained in the Motion by Hon. Mwengi Mutuse. In supporting the removal of the Deputy President from office, we are rejecting the invitation by Hon. Rigathi Gachagua to accept tribal bigotry, skewed resource allocation and the exploitation and domination of minorities as fait accompli in Kenya. Before I go on with what I want to say on the Motion, I would like to take this chance to first respond to some of the issues he has raised in the House a few minutes ago in his responses. In the first place, his response has come very late in the day to the House. He tabled his response at 4.00 p.m. in the evening today. He should have done it either yesterday evening or this morning for the House to get enough time to peruse what he has said.
