    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will take a different tangent. I am one of the people who were opposed to the formation of a Committee. Part of the reason I initially thought that we should not form a Committee is because it was my feeling that most deputy governors have no proper defined functions. Since governors have begged us in the past and said that impeachment should be the last procedure for the removal of a public officer, I was hesitant to face a situation where a public officer in the county should be hurriedly taken from the position of a mistake straight to impeachment in a case where a governor should have looked for the Committee of Devolved Government, mediation and arbitration to solve the issue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is important for this House to encourage other methods of dealing with disputes in counties rather than impeachment so that we, as a country, grow together. However, I was convinced by the Senate Majority Leader and the Senate Minority Leader and other Members after consulting that, perhaps, we should keep the tradition of forming a Committee for the purpose of exhausting the issues that have been raised. Going forward, the tradition should be kept because it looks good. It must go on record that the deputy governors of this country are at pains. They have no space to serve because they have not been given that opportunity. Most of them are reading newspapers in their offices."
