    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have all been very patient this evening and I think nobody’s bill of rights should be violated. One of the things that I want you to say is that new challenges require new approaches and new strategies. This particular Committee works, as the Chairman says, under the constraint of time. Secondly, we, as Senators, did not have time to read the report. A word has been used here called “threshold”, and I am glad that the Senator for Murang’a has dwelt on it. It seems, to me, as I was sitting that a concept of threshold could easily have rendered null and void certain Articles of the Constitution, particularly Articles 75, 80 and 181. The Constitution takes precedence over any other law in this country. Even though we use the word “threshold” in establishing a certain criteria of impeachment, in the Kericho case, it does not mean whatsoever that any other case that rides over the experiences of Kericho County, should be subjected to that minimal definition of threshold, especially if you look at Articles 75, 80 and 181 of the Constitution. If I had time, I would have gone through those Articles, but I would like this House to look at 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."
