    "content": "I know that some people can be very happy being in Mombasa and in Naivasha. We support the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) in Mombasa and in Naivasha, you go--- Here, you have got to take a stand for posterity, and in accordance with the rules. Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I am saying in support of this Motion, is that the Senate does not have a case to present; the Senate does not have a case to rebut. Ours is to hear the evidence that has been brought before us. I agree with Sen. Wako and Sen. Omogeni that we need to look at our Standing Orders. But if it was a presidential impeachment, the prosecution would have been the Members of Parliament, who come before the Senate with the articles of impeachment and prosecute the case. However, in this particular instance, the prosecution was being done by the county assembly and its lawyers. We are sitting here listening to their case, and the other side also presented their case. So, in terms of what has been brought before us, I would just invite the Senate to look at the individual charges and find whether that threshold has been met. Otherwise, I beg to second the Motion. I will not blow hot and cold."
