    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When this matter first became public, we were in Mombasa for a retreat as Senators. It immediately became clear that this was a matter of grave national importance. We had an important press conference and immediately thereafter people wanted us to state our position on this matter. We told them only one thing; that due process would have its way. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having listened to your communiqué, it is clear that due process is not set by you. It is there in black and white. Therefore, what the Senate Leader of Majority is addressing this House on has to be given a shot at the Committee Stage before we come to the whole House. That is part of the due process that we promised Kenyans. I, therefore, support this Motion. What I saw in Mombasa--- I was being taken round by my taxi driver and he asked me to assure him that this Senate is capable of handling a matter of such magnitude. He was not alone. I have received many messages especially after the television footage flashed my name as part of the Committee of the 11. Many of them are expressing the same sentiments. I have received messages from a young man from Kisii called Clifton Okeno, Mr. Bitiko from Vihiga, and Mr. Simiyu from Bungoma."
