    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Vice Chairman of the first impeachment Committee in the Senate, I would like to sympathise with the situation of the Committee because of the timelines under the Act. It will be unfair to tell the nation that we are delayed because of traffic jam. That is the most tired and misused excuse in Nairobi. Every time one plans for themselves, they will always be wherever they want to be on time. Those of us who were in that Committee, we were in Kiambu. We were facilitated by the Senate and the Government to be here on time by clearing the traffic and so on. So, that is not really the reason. The possible reason, having served before is the timelines that are very narrow. Perhaps, the report was very weighty. However, as a matter of conduct and behaviour, I would like you to find in future, that it cannot be possible that two Members of the Committee can precede the report. Usually, when the report is ready, Members sign, agree and pray, and then, they come and deliver, as the practice was. The work we are doing here is not a simple job. It is about accountability and management of a very serious entity; a county Government. So, we must act solemnly and be seen to be serious. Most likely we are being covered live by media houses.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
