    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. Before I contribute, I want to correct the Senator for Kiambu, that Machakos did not have two clerks at any time. Maybe you are referring to another county in Ukambani, but not Machakos. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to say very clearly that impeachment was meant to be a tool to bring good governance to counties. If we allow county assemblies to come up with issues without proper process, bring them to this Senate and we contribute to them, I do not think we will be doing justice to the counties and yet we, the Senators, are defenders of devolution. I know there are issues in Isiolo County, but it is yet to be determined whether they are issues for impeachment. Before that is determined, we want to know if due process was followed. Listening to the County Assembly lawyers, they did not clarify completely to us that there was any sitting on the 18th of June and the 26th of June. According to how they represented themselves, there was no sitting at the County Assembly. So, I support this Motion and I say that we cannot move to the next stage because there was no sitting. We have to follow due process to the letter as we impeach the governors. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
