    "content": "at the politics how we will ensure counties are accountable to Kenyans first without employing negative ethnicity. It is for us in this Senate to be very honest in what we are doing. When we talk about impeachment, at one point we say it is a political process and at another point we bring in the legal part. It is up to this Senate to look at its own image and tell the country whether we deal with impeachment as a political process or as a legal process. If, indeed, we say it is a political process, then we must have consequences in what we decide. When I look at the report and I do not want to go into it, but I want to deal with the two allegations that were brought on the Floor. Indeed, then, we must say yes; there is an allegation in terms of national cohesion and equal opportunities. For those who are in that Committee, I would recommend that you must go back again to Machakos now and look at the issue from the point of view of the Committee; to establish, indeed, are these violations correct? If so, how do we deal with it? I do not want to dwell on the issue of nguu because in 2007, we decided to call people madoadoa and some went to The Hague because of madoadoa . Let us not joke around it because those who suffered when they were being called madoadoa and being thrown out, they did not know whether madoadoa is that nguu or what. So, it is the way you use that word; you can use it in a positive way or you can use it in a negative way. But for us, we need to go back now, as the Committee on National Cohesion, and ask ourselves: Was the word used to violate others? Was it used in a manner that was positive that you can use any slang, but in a positive manner? It is very important because for us, communication is very key here. Machakos has now become more independent, cosmopolitan; it is not the Machakos that was there before. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support."
