    "content": "Thank you. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is not easy to speak after the former Attorney General Emeritus of the Republic, but I will try my best to make my contribution. I would like to congratulate the Chairperson, Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights for bringing this Bill. As I contribute, it is with a mixed bag of observations that I support this Bill because it is in our mandate to legislate, to give effect to broad articles of the Constitution, provide framework, actualize and operationalize some of these broad laws. The Senate has acted in good faith to ensure that we have legislation that gives guidance and provides steps to be followed in matters as grave as impeachment of a President, Deputy President, governors, Cabinet Secretaries and County Executive Committee members (CECs). So, in that respect, I support this because, a country is only as strong as the institutions, systems and processes it has in place. Otherwise, it would be dependent on the whims of anybody that wishes to misuse some of the powers they may have. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a timely Bill that gives effect to articles 145 and181, and many others with regard to impeachment and vacation of office of some of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
