    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I believe the Members of the County Assembly (MCAs) deserved a fair hearing because they represent the people at the grassroots. That means, their voice is powerful and it matters. Since most of them are young people, I will stand with them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are a House of rules and procedures. While I am not a lawyer, I know that laws were formulated, or rather the history of law was for purposes of balancing situations of too much cruelty and mercy. I know that there is no limit to how many counts we need to impeach a governor. One count is enough to impeach a governor. I was very eager to impeach him, given the fact that he had made very derogatory remarks against women, and on so many instances, he has rubbed shoulders very badly with various committees of the Senate, and most importantly, because I want our northern counties, which have been marginalized for so many years, to be examples of counties that can have true leadership to liberate our people from marginalization. Mr. Speaker, Sir, however, as a House of rules and procedures, there have been questions as to how the MCAs have approached this impeachment. I know that it pokes a lot of questions as to how the Senate has been handling this issue. That means, we need to do a lot of amendments. Firstly, on at what level the Senate decides that this is a matter that can now come to the floor of the Senate, and henceforth demand attention of the Senators. I do not know whether that is a failure on the Clerk or our legal team. Secondly, we also need to amend the time-frame that we need between one impeachment and another, so that issues that were burning the MCAs of Isiolo County Assembly can be addressed in a just manner. With those remarks, I support."
