    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was trying to say that this House has brought deputy governors, governors and now the Deputy President. What we are doing is a constitutional mandate. Therefore, I will ask Kenyans to bear with the Constitution. It is the Constitution, which has brought us to where we are. I also want to thank the parties representing the Deputy President and the parties representing the National Assembly that were here for the last two days. All these Senators have been sitting here as judges for the last two days and nights and this is a court like the high court. Only that the judges in the high court or in the courts do not discuss the cases they handle, but they meet, discuss and then make decisions and such a decision is read by the president of that court. Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is why we find ourselves here because we make decisions through voting and this evening, these jury will make its decision in one or the other. I would request Kenyans from today that whatever decision will be made, they should maintain peace, love and unity as was envisaged since the independence in 1963. This is because, a decision will be made by the Senate in one way or the other; either to impeach the Deputy President or not to impeach. I want to talk to the people that I represent, the Meru community. I assure them that whatever decision their Senator will make, is for the best interest of the Meru people and I assure them that their future will be bright, if not brighter. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
