"content": "governor should appear before us, yet we saw a governor standing there. I was telling myself, perhaps the Governor impeached himself by just appearing to us. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we asked Hon. Mutuse, the main witness, questions, he was saying this is just “ prima facie, prima facie, prima facie .” Since I am not a lawyer, I googled. Prima facie means, on first sight. So, we are impeaching the Deputy President on allegation of ‘at first sight’. Nowadays, we do not even love at first sight, but we have made the process of impeaching a Deputy President easier than kicking out a nagging boyfriend or girlfriend. So, I stand here from Kiambu County, to say that I am not going to impeach the Deputy President because listening to the accusations that were brought here, they are not enough and do not meet the threshold of removing somebody from the office. You ask Hon. Mutuse, here you heard it, he says: Mr. Mutuse, I was not in an investigation journey. Mr. Mutuse, I just imagined. Mr. Mutuse, I do not know. Mr. Mutuse, I believe. Mr. Mutuse, Senate believe me, even if you do not believe me in one occasion or in one ground, just take one that you love. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is sad that my brother, a person from my area or region, the Deputy President of this country is being impeached. I would like to talk to the Senate Majority Leader, a person I respect, and also the Senator for Bomet County, Hon. Sigei. When we help to save a brother, remember us when we ask you to save our brother. As I conclude on this issue, he who assesses the integrity of others must exemplify an even higher standard of integrity on himself. I would like to ask you, Members, please, as I go down to write your names or the scenes on the ground. I am not calling myself Jesus, ask yourself, would you be the first one to throw this stone on the Deputy President? I leave by saying I will vote ‘No’ on all 11 counts. I will vote no. I leave you with one quote that I have read from a Member of Parliament (MP) from Gatundu North Constituency, who has said, “The dog is not sick. It is just afraid, facing its last two hours of power, forever.” Those are the MPs who kicked out the Deputy President. They are now calling him a dog. Maybe even this Motion was brought by some people who are suffering from mental issues. I say that because how do you call a Deputy President a dog and say that he is not sick, he is only waiting to get out of power in two hours. I ask you, brothers, please, do not play along the galleries. Respect the Deputy President and the people of Murima. I leave you with Exodus 19:12. We were told if you touch a widow, you die. It says if you touch the mountain, you die. I vote no."
