    "content": "between a Governor and his deputy, which they cannot handle in the forum of the county. That is why in the Report, there is intra-management of conflict. Therefore, when you escalate your politics to the Senate, just be sure even if I stand alone, I will use reason of political expediency or pragmatism. I imagine that this is not an issue that this Senate, having spent time because it is constitutional for us and legal, can affirm this recommendation. I think that it is a travesty and mockery. I do believe that if the Deputy Governor is taken through the paces of law, and he sees by that point that the law is turning against him and these matters have been conclusively dealt with, then he has no recourse but to exit that position. But this Senate cannot set itself into motion where we know that the standards of trial and fair hearing, under any judicial or quasi-judicial proceedings, were not adhered to. We cannot simply use discretion and opinion to insinuate ill-motive. Mr. Speaker, Sir, my final comment is that I wrote this knowing that it must go into the annals of our history and permanent records of this Senate that I dissented. Ten or 20 years from today, I can stand shoulder high that I was not party to the intrigues of Machakos County and stayed clear and told them: “Go sort out your problems. If you ran together, then learn how to stick together.” I find the position to impeach the Deputy Governor untenable and, therefore, differ with the majority vote for reasons aforementioned to impeach the Deputy Governor of Machakos County, hon. Bernard Kiala, and restate that this is the Senate of the Republic of Kenya."
