    "content": "Hon. Speaker, Sir, I wanted to seek a Statement but, at the same time, I feel persuaded to contribute to this debate. Allow me to say that the culture of impunity in this country - it appears - has not come to end. I really do not expect a House that is composed of very senior citizens in this country; people that we respect; people that we expect to read, understand and interpret the Constitution of this country in the right way--- Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to sympathize with them for not having properly read and understood the Constitution which, some of them really participated in passing in 2010. If they actually did, then they should have made the right decisions. They should have been able to understand the role of the National Assembly. For purposes of bringing up to speed the Kenyan nation to understand that we are not in any way in contest with the Senate, I would like them to look properly at their roles as provided for under Article 96. When you look at the four roles as provided for by the Constitution, they all revolve around issues to do with counties. The only role that is extending outside matters that are touching on counties is the issue of participating in the process of the removal of a President. Hon. Speaker, Sir, they are only supposed to participate. They cannot initiate the process of removal of a President because that is the work of the National Assembly."
