    "content": "It was extremely annoying to see the Chairman of the CoG belittle the county assemblies and the Senate. He said that, in the normal way, they would go to court. I appeal to the Judiciary to come to the reality that in an impeachment process, once a decision is made by the Senate, it is done with finality. There is no room for appeal. I do not know where they got these gymnastics that people can be allowed to challenge the final decision on impeachment of the Senate. I do not know which international practice they are using. Mr. Speaker, Sir, before the election of 2014, Ms. Dilma Rousseff manipulated the reports of budgetary deficit of the budget of the Government of Brazil. She interfered with the records of the accounts. That is all that she did. A whole President is gone! We demand from the Judiciary that they should not allow themselves to be used by governors. We want one, two, three or four governors to go so that Kenyans can know that oversight and accountability is a norm under this Constitution. I would like to speak to our two coalitions; Jubilee and CORD. In the CORD coalition, we must be disturbed that so far none of our county assemblies has ever attempted to impeach our governors. This can only point to one thing; that in our coalition, the governors are managing our Members of County Assembly (MCAs.) but on the Jubilee side, the MCAs are carrying out oversight. This message must go out clearly. The Senate Minority Leader is listening. I am sure he will do something about it. I would like to give one example."
