    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a sad day; not because the Governor has been let off the hook, but because of the casual manner, in my opinion, that we have presented and presided over this matter. The allegations leveled against the Governor touched on Chapter Six of the Constitution which is very weighty on leadership and integrity matters, particularly Article 73(1) and (2). Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very sad that while considering four very weighty allegations, the Committee accepted that they started sitting and listening to witness on Tuesday. In my opinion, that is not enough time for thorough interrogation and conclusion of such a weighty matter. As I sit here, it is very sad that Senators, Kenyans of this calibre, can actually sit and listen to the report without having an opportunity to go through it. As an individual, I feel that my right under the Bill of Rights has been violated. I have a right to access information and make informed decisions. Even as I listened to the Committee report, I have a right to internalize everything that they are presenting, having read the report and coming to a conclusion on my own behalf and that of the constituency of women that I represent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my opinion, we are setting very serious traditions in the Senate. I am not sad that he has been let off the hook, but I am sad that I do not feel satisfied that I interrogated this weighty matter and gave it the in-depth analysis befitting it."
