"content": "The restriction is here provided in paragraph eight of my communication. We were so elaborate because we knew that these temptations will be there. I said and I quote:- “I wish to emphasize to all Hon. Senators, as I have done before, that debate on the Motion shall be limited to the substance of the Motion, namely; whether to establish a special Committee consisting of the Senators listed to investigate the proposed removal from office of the Governor of Kericho County. It is not a Motion on the propriety, prudence or even constitutionality or legality of the processes that have preceded the submission of this matter to the Senate. It is not a debate of the facts of the matter or its merits. It is therefore not permissible, and I will not hesitate to immediately rule a Senator to be out of order if she or he digresses into any matters other than the Motion before the House.” If all of us can restrict ourselves to that for now, but making inferences on the basis of whether you can impeach; in fact, the Senate Majority Leader was very clear that even the President is very impeachable. So, he is not discounting that, but we are saying that this is a special sitting for a special Motion, and the Motion is the formation of a special Committee in the matter of removing from office by impeachment the Governor of Kericho County. So, let us restrict our arguments to that. Of course, the only problem is that I will not demand an apology from Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale because all of you are guilty as charged from what you have actually demonstrated – and I think Sen. Orengo has cautioned us properly so. You know, this is the 21st Century and if you do not come to this Parliament with the ideas on how you want to take this country to the next level, you have no business being here!"
