    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. So far, we have been faced with four cases of impeachment. In all the four, the Senate decided to deal with them by way of establishing Special Committees. I have had the privilege to be the Chair of the Special Committee that dealt with the impeachment charges against the Governor of Kericho County. Given the experience gained, I oppose the Motion to appoint another Special Committee to deal with the Nyeri County impeachment matter. The impeachment of the Nyeri Governor has attracted a lot of public interest, not just from the people of Nyeri and the Mt. Kenya area, but throughout the Republic. We are therefore obligated as a Senate to give the public a chance to follow the proceedings. This can only be done through a debate in the Plenary. I am convinced that this will be in the interest of transparency and openness as opposed to doing it through a special committee which raises suspicions and leaves many questions unanswered. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am opposing this Motion not because of the Members proposed whom I have full confidence in, but I think transparency and openness is more important in this case. I, therefore, oppose this Motion and propose that we deal with the matter in the Plenary."
