    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support the formation of this Committee. Indeed as we consider the names, Kenyans are also looking at everyone’s responsibility in terms of what they have done for the country over the years. Indeed, some of the Members have been seasoned politicians and know what they are required to do to ensure that we take care of the dignity of this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed as much as this is happening for the first time, we should know that Kenyans are also following very closely. We know that a different county is facing the same predicament, but they decided to go to court. Therefore, while the people of Embu are watching, they would want to see the Committee and this House rise above our own politics and follow the law. The Committee will be like a court and in the end, it will either show that this House – like Sen. Orengo has said – indeed deserves to deal with the article on impeachment, or Kenyans will wish that it should never be in the hands of the Senate. I believe that the Committee will make us proud on that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
