    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I now have my bearings back. I have just come from Western Province. I wish to congratulate the Nyeri County Assembly Members for taking this bold decision. I, however, oppose this motion. I am one of those who have been proposed to sit in this Select Committee and I oppose this Motion, not because I have doubts about my own capability but the experience I gathered when we sat during the impeachment of the governor for Murang’a tells me that we need to try a different approach to this impeachment business. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is on record that a Bill has been presented to this House; the Impeachment Procedure Bill by Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki and it is a Bill that as a House we need to take seriously because this questions will keep on coming up. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to lay out some fears that might be there. One, this House should not be used as lynching ground for the governors. We should afford them a fair hearing and comfort them that when they come before the Plenary, we will not lynch them or hang them out to dry. I also do pray that Members of this Senate which is highly regarded will not resort to some of the tactics we have seen in other assemblies within this nation where people are invited for lunches in Karen, along State House road or at Eurobond Towers in Pangani and when they come to this House, they come with a different view of matters."
