    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the formation of the Committee. I urge the Members who I believe will retire from this Sitting for their first meeting, to observe the precedence already set when we had the issue of Kericho County, a Jubilee Governor impeachment, the Committee was chaired by a Senator from CORD. When we had the hearing of the Machakos Deputy Governor, who is from CORD, it was chaired by the distinguished Senator for Nyeri County. I want that precedence to be followed. The Chair of this Committee should come from CORD and a Vice Chairperson from Jubilee, so that we continue with the precedence set. Secondly, listening to the charges that you read to this Chamber, they are extremely serious. As you were reading, one would have thought that it was an Agatha Christie or James Hardley Chase novel. It makes one think about an Italian joke that “Africans have given corruption a very bad name”. Even when you want to do things in a bad way, you should use some brains, like the former President Mwai Kibaki said. If what you read to us is true, it is very unfortunate. Let us proceed on the basis that Governor Mwangi wa Iria is innocent until proven guilty. We should substantiate the allegations or reject them. Let us not be clouded by any press reports or happenings in other counties like the wheelbarrows of Bungoma. We are dealing with Murang’a County The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
