"content": "Okay, let me rephrase it. We have become a House that is controlled from other areas or places. The most unfortunate thing is that when I was growing up, some of the Senators I looked up to, who were defenders of human rights and other things in this country, are now the ones presiding over or helping to move this madness forward by seeking removal of a very competent Deputy Speaker without any reasons. Anyway, I am sure you will do whatever you will do. You will vote whichever way you will vote because you hold brief for whoever you hold brief for. I stand here today to say that whether we are two, five or ten, we shall continue to fight on. We shall continue to fight on and we shall not allow the dictatorship that this country is quickly slipping to. Unfortunately, Sen. Orengo, you fought so many battles to get away from that, but thanks to you, we are quickly moving to that direction. It is okay. Maybe we shall move forward and we shall be the ones to now lead this next part, not just being part of the axis of evil that is happening here today. It also says a lot, as we call competency into question, because again, we do not have the grounds for this Motion. I have heard the Senator of Murang’a, in his moving notes talk about a few issues here while those we thought were such defenders of democracy stand up and urge him to proceed. It is because most of you cannot look at yourselves in the mirror and that is why you do not want to cite any reasons as you remove this very competent man. You are just standing brief and that is okay. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I oppose this Motion."
