    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you told me that I have to make my position known at the end, this is the time that I am making my position known. As the Senator of Elgeyo-Marakwet County, I have problems with the way Elgeyo-Marakwet is being managed; my Governor is under investigation and he has been to the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) for all those kinds of things. Even if the same procedure is brought in this House to impeach Governor Tolgos, I will never support because I must be seen to be consistent in defending the law, the Constitution and the procedure. I may be junior in this House in terms of law practice than the three senior counsel who are sitting on the Minority Side, however, I want history to judge me right that, eventually, when the courts of law would have made a decision about the decision we are going to make in this House, many years down the line, I want for me to walk in the streets of Nairobi and in the Republic of Kenya and say, look, I am that gentleman, who never sacrificed the truth and the law for political expediency."
