    "content": "committees of this House. What would happen in this country if every Member of Parliament was to go out there and castigate governing organs and constitutionally created bodies? We will have anarchy in this country. I am not convinced that the Deputy President has answered, in any way, the question on why he was castigating bodies like the National Intelligence Service and the National Police Service (NPS) publicly. On this ground, I feel he is impeachable. He has not given us a sufficient answer to that question. On the issue of Justice Maina, the Deputy President said that he was not attacking her because of the judgements she rendered against him. He said that he had filed a petition with the Judicial Service Commission (JSC). Whoever wants equity must come with clean hands. You cannot castigate a judge in rallies and burials, and then expect JSC to listen to you. You cannot have it both ways. If he wanted JSC to deal with that matter and was unhappy with the way the judge had handled his case, he should not have castigated her in a burial. He should not have talked about her in a very demeaning manner. He should have kept his cool and filed his petition with the JSC. He has failed in leadership and integrity, under Leadership and Integrity Act. On that account, he is impeachable. Lastly, it is the issue of the renovation of the official residence of the Deputy President in Karen. When the Deputy President was taking oath of office at Kasarani, he lectured and told us they had inherited empty coffers. There was no money in this country. The former regime had looted everything. But after two months, he renovated his official residence with over Ksh45 million. Zilitoka wapi? Where did that money come from? He has not convinced us, in any way, how that money was spent or how those companies were paid. Because of misuse of public resources, he is impeachable. When we passed the Constitution 2010, we knew very well that we were coming from an era where we could not impeach the President, Cabinet Secretaries or Deputy President. Kenyans gave themselves the new Constitution. They put there Article 150 of the Constitution knowing very well that one day they would hold their leaders, the President and Deputy President, accountable. They gave that mandate to this House and the Senate. During public participation, I was shocked because people were saying kufa makanga,"
