    "content": "citizen of the Republic of Kenya and exercising my mandate as a Member of the National Assembly, which is a constitutional mandate. I believe Senators here have done in the past, and even now and in the future, will also bring issues in line with their mandate and their responsibilities as citizens of the Republic of Kenya. “Is this Motion, your own Motion?” Yes, it is my Motion and in saying so you say, I have proved nothing and that is not factual. Just to say the least, if you go through the Motion’s 11 grounds and you look at each ground, most of the grounds have sub- grounds. You will see that we have given clear evidence in many of them. There have been incidences where we have been able to admit like, for example, on the tea issue and the Mathira SACCO that, by the time of presenting the Motion, I had not gathered enough evidence. However, the rules do not permit that I present new evidence, I have conceded. I have conceded, but only on those two. That does not mean that I have not proved anything. I have actually proved most of the grounds. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would urge my Senator for Kitui to also be fair to my case and find that even if only one ground is proved, he should vote for the approval. This is because one of the videos that are presented before this House is a speech by the Deputy President at AIC Church, Kitui which I believe the Senator represents."
