    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to request the MCAs not to be vindictive towards the Governor, because the Governor came here with a lot of humility; he has submitted to the authority and jurisdiction of this House. He might have said one or two things to the Committee about the County Assembly, but I am sure any other person who was in his situation would have hanged on to anything to ensure that he can defend himself. But that should not be held against the Governor; it must be the beginning of a process of reconciling the county. I want to request the MCAs to approach the way forward with an open mind, understanding that they can begin a good relationship and move forward. I want to tell the Governor of Kericho, Prof. Chepkwony – my former colleague at Moi University – that this is also an opportunity for you to extend the same humility you demonstrated to this House to the county government so that they can approach the County Assembly Speaker and MCAs with humility, because it is humility that will set us free. I want the same humility to be extended to the Members of Parliament (MPs) and particularly to Sen. Charles Keter so that, together as a family of the leadership of Kericho, we can build our county and we can really be proud of as the county of tea, and we can move forward progressively. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important to note – and I agree with Sen. Wetangula – that we do not need a legislation on impeachment of any person at the moment, because Article 145 of the Constitution is clear. We have already legislated on Article 181, which was a copy of Article 145. What is important is that when we are exercising that responsibility both at the county level and at the national level, it is important that, that responsibility is exercised in the manner in which our Committee has done. I want to quote Article 175---"
