    "content": "the Governor of Nyeri is guilty; it may be that the Senate will find him innocent, but the Senate will have the opportunity to be able to look at the issues and look at them soberly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this House cannot be dictated to by the Lower House which has absolutely no jurisdiction. One Member or more of the Lower House cannot dictate to this House how we are going to carry out impeachment proceedings. It must be clear to them that they do not have that jurisdiction. We are the only House--- if in future there is a President to be impeached this is the only House that will carry out trial. They must respect the jurisdiction of this House and they must respect the procedure. It is very sad that most of those leaders I watched on TV are my friends, I find it demeaning for them to carry themselves in the manner they did by going to ransack the office of a governor whose trial has not been carried out by this House. In the same manner, the County Assemblies and the governors cannot also dictate to us what we need to do. I want to say that neither the Council of Governors, who are the creation of a law that this House passed, nor the county assemblies, can sit down and dictate to this House how we are going to carry out this procedure . In doing so we are quasi-judicial and we cannot be interfered with by anybody outside the jurisdiction of this House. When we sit down finally because I am seeing that is going to be the procedure we will revert to---. In fact in the United States of America (USA) they take an oath before the trial. We will convert ourselves to a quasi- j udicial body. I believe that this House will make the right decision. Thank you."
