    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are now at the very most critical moment and I have heard so many colleagues here. Time is a very important factor; when we started, people were so cranky and emotional because everybody was trying to defend the decisions that they have made. You can see that people are now relaxed, perhaps in the confidence that they have numbers. The proceedings of the impeachment of the Governor of Kiambu is very important. I have been in this House; when the impeachment of Governor Samboja came late last year, the conversation was different. Our friends, particularly on the side I am facing defended the Governor viciously even before the Committee, and the HANSARD will bear me witness. However, because of the expedience of the moment, I can see, we are not blind, we can do the arithmetic, and we can see the patterns. It is only sad that the former Central Province and Mount Kenya region has produced the highest number of impeachments in this House; that is, Kiambu, Murang’a, Nyeri and Embu, where we did two impeachments including that of a deputy governor. There is a very telling pattern that I have seen from other sources like a friend of mine, who is an honorable Member, mentioned. Is it that in these areas the governors are more corrupt or is it possible that in other areas and other parties, the governors are The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
