    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. My conscience is very clear that we are moving in the right direction because if you consider Standing Order No.68(1)(a) as read together with Standing Order No.68(1)(b), we are within our mandate to constitute this Committee. The 11 names that have been proposed have got the skills, experience, discipline and qualifications to objectively execute the mandate that is before them. Elsewhere, the Senate has been accused of impeaching governors. I find this very ridiculous because this Senate does not impeach governors. Governors are impeached by their own county assembly MCAs. The Senate only executes its constitutional mandate when the matter of impeachment is brought before it and to interrogate the charges brought against the governor and to sustain or exonerate the governor. I want to state that collectively as a Senate and individually as Senators, we have nothing against governors. As a matter of fact, when you look at any committee that is constituted like in this case, only one Senator comes from that county. So, for people, especially in the Press to accuse the Senate of fighting political battles by impeaching 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."
