    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion. I agree with the comments made by the Senate Majority Leader in support of the Motion and the Senate Minority Leader. I want to repeat, particularly, what the Senate Majority Leader said about our constitutional responsibilities. This is something that we cannot run away from. Unfortunately, these matters of impeachment, the origination of this process does not lie with the Senate. It lies somewhere else. Once that process has been undertaken in accordance with the law, Constitution and with the County Governments Act and in accordance with the Standing Orders of the County Assemblies, our competencies begin after the Speaker has received a resolution. Once the Speaker has received that resolution, there is a constitutional mandate and authority that must be exercised beginning with the Speaker. Within a number of days, the Speaker must convene the House, for example, if the House is in recess. All I can say is that nobody out there should be worried about the Senate. I have listened to the Senate in previous proceedings, I have been in one Committee and I am of the fullest confidence that by the nature of those who represent the people of Kenya, we will not take it upon ourselves to punish any Governor for extraneous reasons irrespective The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
