    "content": "This is because I have sat here and heard my friends and esteemed colleagues starting from Sen. Keter, Sen. Musila and Sen. Billow, saying that they are great friends of Governor Wambora and some were even neighbours. With friends like these, do you need enemies, honestly? Anyway, I understand that they are doing what they are doing as a matter of principle and that is what it is all about. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I find myself in a very awkward position because all of us stand in judgement of our colleague. I say a “colleague” because the Governors and Senators are meant to be joined at the hip. The Governors and Senators are one. The paycheck that we get today is because our role is the protectors and custodians of the county. So, it pains me, in particular, to have to stand here in judgement over my colleague. Sad too, because, personally, I know that Governor Wambora is a good and decent human being. Unfortunately, he has brought himself in this situation. We have talked of abdication. Did he delegate to the point of abdication? Those are issues which came up and the Committee gave a resounding “yes.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, all that I would like to say is that we thank God for the justice system and for your wise counsel that today he is going to come here and put his case across. All that I will ask my colleagues is that we should have an open mind and listen to him. This is because there is a saying “only fools do not change their minds.”"
