As I have said here before, the Senate is here because of the Constitution. We are here because the people of Kenya voted for us to be here. We are not here because of friendship, benevolence, charity or goodwill of any quarter or any person. We exist as of right and we shall continue to exist as of right. We should not be afraid of any titles. We have seen policemen being arrested and locked up every day because of robbing banks when they are in uniform. The fact that a Speaker like you is wearing robes does not mean that he cannot commit crimes and act contrary to the Constitution. We should not be intimidated by the robes, we should see if what you are doing is actually constitutional or unconstitutional. So, any rogue public servant, or head of a state institution should be dealt with in accordance with the law for breach of the Constitution. What I am saying is that we should go beyond seeking advisory opinions. We should also check whether the people holding these public offices should not be removed for undermining the Constitution. The High Court is there, we are just asking whether people are properly in office or not. We are removing governors every day for gross abuse of the Constitution. Why can we not move against other public officer like the Speakers who have also breached the Constitution?"
