    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity and let me start by telling H.E the Deputy President of this country, polesana and we wish you a quick recovery. Secondly, I will quote a scripture which has been quoted here; John 8:7. Jesus told the people who took that woman before him, that whoever has not sinned to be the first to take a stone and throw at that woman. When he bent down and stood up, there was no one. All the men had gone and only the woman was standing there and he told her to go in peace, her sins forgiven. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I talk like this, the other day, we heard the Deputy President publicly ask for forgiveness. The Bible in the book of Matthew 6:14 and 15 says that, if we do not forgive men their sins when they sin against us, our Heavenly Father will never forgive us our sins. When I talk like this, I want to say the Mover of this Motion, hon. Mutuse could not substantiate the allegations. He was asked questions and people even outside in the social media are laughing and asking what kind of a lawyer is he because he could not answer many of the questions. I believe he was not aware of the Motion. It seemed like it was drafted by somebody else and he was given it to table. Even in the last speech of the National Assembly, they said on impeachment, it is not necessary or important to substantiate every allegation and even to make sure that you have all the evidence of the allegations, because this is not like a court. I thought, as a Senate, we sit here as a court and whatever ruling we give here is acceptable. Therefore, I wonder why one would stand and say that it is not a must that they substantiate beyond reasonable doubt. I believe if we are impeaching a person, all the accusations must be substantiated and beyond reasonable doubt, because that is one's career, we are about to ruin and this person has a family and a career. When I think of hon. Waititu and hon. Sonko, for ten good years they cannot stand on any elective office."
