    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, the position of the Deputy President of Kenya is very high. It is a very high calling. Therefore, as we make a decision on the Deputy President of Kenya, I want to remind him that of those to whom more is given, indeed more is expected of them. He should not feel that he is being victimized because due to the high standard of this Constitution, in 2013 by dint of lack of integrity, the Deputy Chief Justice, Nancy Barasa, lost her job, merely because she pinched the nose of Kwamboka. The Deputy President indeed did worse than pinching the nose of somebody. The Deputy President, seeing the allegations against him, I cannot imagine that he moves around with the moniker of “man of faith” and “truthful man”. If really, we must talk about faith, may I remind the Deputy President of a man of faith, a man of letters called Bill Paul. Bill Paul said that integrity is like virginity. You lose it only once. When you lose it, you can never get it back. The Deputy President has lost that virginity of leadership. Coming from a community that paid the price for inflammatory speeches in the Likoni, Molo and Trans Nzoia, if I had time, I would discuss what some of my relatives went through, including Pastor Liyai from Ichina Village during the tribal clashes of 1992 and 1997. I would like to remind the Deputy President of the post-election violence of 2007/2008, one of the reasons why we had to have this progressive Constitution that will be removing him hopefully this evening from office. Even as we ask the Deputy President to leave office, we must insist that the DCI and the EACC and other investigative institutions must pursue this matter beyond this vote. I have in mind the activities of the intricate web of companies up to 22, so to speak. The reason I believe young Mutuse could not bring all these, dear Senators, is because effort requires money. It requires time to do all that research. Some of it, you have to do it clandestinely for you to get information. 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."
