"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to also add my voice to this important Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I stand to speak, I bear two sets of pain with me; the first pain is that Sen. Wambora shares a party with me; and the second pain is that my mothers were given fake seeds to plant. So, in this case, I will go with my mothers, because I know I am in a party that has no tolerance to corruption. After listening to the report given by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale and Sen. Murkomen, somebody who has actually wronged the people who voted for him comes before a Committee and says “I do not know;” is that somebody who respects the Constitution? Yet that is somebody who has an obligation to uphold and respect that Constitution, because he was voted into office to actually use that Constitution to lead his people. The people of Embu right now are looking up to this Senate to save them, because as it is, Governor Wambora did not look after them. After what we decide, will save the other Kenyans from all the things that we have disregarded; like having the Governors come into this town from their counties with the sirens and giving the people the impression that they are very powerful. But what are they doing back there; having people suffer? We have given them the responsibility of ensuring that the people have the power. The people have what they asked for; that is the reason they voted for them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
