    "content": "There are people who are elected here and never really serving because they were busy in the courts, like they have started with the Senator for Nandi. This is just the beginning. You need to be made of steel. In this, it does not depend on which side you belong. On this issue, there are no sides. It can land on you any time. With bridges or no bridges, it can land on you. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what you have done--. In fact, I was the first to make it known to you that I need a copy of that ruling. It is extremely persuasive. For example, in our Constitution, the President enjoys absolute immunity. If today the President shoots somebody, like President Trump was saying he can shoot anybody on Times Square and nothing will happen to him, the law is such that you cannot remove him because that is what the law says. You cannot even institute civil cases and there is a reason for it. Similarly, for offices; these are only applying to independent offices or offices where somebody is elected but exercising executive authority, the Anti-Corruption and Economics Crimes Act, Section 65, says that, in instances where there is a specific provision for removal, the provisions contained in that Act will not apply because there is already provision for removal and the threshold is actually lower. It is serious reasons to believe that an offense has been committed. That is a lower threshold. If you have trouble with the governor and you want him removed, all that you need to do is to convince the county assembly to come to the Senate with Articles of impeachment. If your constituency thinks that you are not doing a good job, they can collect signatures, there is a process for removal. Otherwise to come one day – you know in politics there is no sense, even as we love our Whip for the Minority, somebody can just come up with the most heinous even salacious---"
