    "content": "Members nominated to sit in this Committee. I feel privileged for having sat for ten consecutive days up to past 6.00 p.m. in the evening. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I first entered the Committee, I prayed that “God, let my conscience be guided to the rule of law, the Constitution, the wish of the people of Machakos and Kenyans generally.” This is because this House has been mandated by our Constitution to look into those issues. I feel betrayed if I do not fulfill my duties as per my conscience. I have not been directed by any political party to take the direction I have taken. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I feel disturbed to sit here and hear my colleagues, most of them who are lawyers, come and divert the quasi-judicial and quasi-political process to be a court of law. They should differentiate those two. There will be those people who will be impeached not because of any evidence found. One of the governors in Nigeria was impeached because he could not form a cabinet. There are different positions about the impeachment of the Deputy Governor. But thank God because the court in Kirinyaga and Embu gave the Senate those powers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I, as Sen. Leshore, the elected Senator from Samburu, think that this issue should have been resolved down there in Machakos or in the Wiper party. However, it is here before us and we must take a stand as the Senate either to impeach this Deputy Governor or not."
