    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support this Motion. However, I must say at the first instance that this is the most interesting proceeding that I have seen, where a lawyer representing a client, has sought leave to withdraw from proceedings affecting his client. So, since this is the first governor to be impeached twice and walk away from his fate, we might as well help him to walk away from his seat because he does not deserve to be a governor of any county in this Republic. Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, I want to thank the Committee because this document that they have produced is a beautiful document. It has got all legal authority and is well researched. We must commend the Committee for doing a good job. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Embu County has spoken twice. If we do not impeach this Governor today, what will he do when he goes back to Embu with a county assembly that does not want him? At this juncture, I then agree with Sen. Murkomen; that if a vote of no confidence has been passed by Members of the County Assembly of Embu, who represent public opinion and the people of Embu, we have no choice. Governor Wambora is damned if he does and will be damned if he does not. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support this Motion to impeach this Governor, because from my reading of this Report, he has abdicated responsibility under Chapter Six of the Constitution of Kenya. Therefore, he deserves the fate that will be falling at this Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
