    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I support this Bill because the legal structure that has been put in place will ensure that before any impeachment is brought forward, the concerned people must have conducted a thorough analysis, to ensure that the accusations are true. You are aware of the many impeachments that were conducted in the Eleventh Parliament. As I speak, impeachment has been going on in some places without following any order. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Bill will speak to those various kinds of malice, where people decide to impeach someone just because they have disagreed in the course of their work. The accusations should be confirmed. For example, an impeachment motion was moved just because someone refused to approve a trip for a group of people. With this particular legal procedure, for the first time, we shall have serious issues being discussed. Clause 27, on the removal from office of a CEC, together with Clause 28 (11)(b) will bring a cure to a case where once allegations have been drawn out, we immediately have a malicious group coming up with the same issues. I particularly love this one because it says in Clause 28(11)(b)- “A motion for the removal of that county executive committee member may, subject to subsection (12), only be re-introduced in the county assembly on the expiry of ninety days from the date of the vote by the county assembly under subsection (8).” This will enable the concerned officers to carry out their duties without disturbances or worries. When we get people threatening someone that they can easily be impeached, and even after acquiring a court order stopping this, we have the same people leveling impeachment allegations immediately after one week---. Finally, I wish to support this Bill because of the provision for public participation. The public has been crying for public participation in many areas. While the public may not have the legal understanding of the matter, it can provide the social audit. This can add on to what we will be doing regarding impeachment. I support this Bill and thank the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights for formulating such a great Bill. We look forward to the passage of this Bill. I am sure once it is passed, our country will not be the same again."
