    "content": "In this House, we have observed a number of impeachments that have been pushed towards us. Some did not succeed. We know that in Meru recently, one of the only seven female governors, G7, which is something we should have celebrated, was ousted. This was because of tensions. During the three impeachment Motions, she indicated to this House that one of the reasons why she was facing a lot of problems in her county of Meru was because of a constrained relationship, more generally with chauvinistic male leaders in her county, but particularly, she had a problem with her own deputy. It is a matter of record. We also saw in Siaya County that when the Deputy Governor of Siaya appeared in this House over an impeachment issue, there was a serious problem between him and the governor. These problems do not just come from nowhere. They come from lack of clear delineation of what a deputy governor should do. The Constitution gives us a blanket guidance that they are supposed to assist the governor in dealing with their roles. However, when you are assisting, you need resources."
