"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the very beginning, you advised us that we were not impeaching anybody. The matter in front of us is a matter for us to make a decision on, but we are not impeaching anybody. Therefore, regarding all the correct attributes that have been given to our brother Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, that stands. I do not think that anybody is questioning that. We all know, and we must all realize that the world we live in is a world of virtues and traditions, and it will work out in the end. We have a situation where these positions originate from a political party, and that is the beginning of anybody running for a position. Even for elective positions, you begin with a political party. This is not different from other organizations, for example, religious organizations. We have the Catholic Church. Nobody will ever question when a Catholic Father is transferred from point A to point B in the Catholic Church. This matter came out of a political process. I think that a lot of time has been spent laboring on the very good attributes of the able lawyer, Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. Being a professor, I have no doubt that he is a very excellent lawyer, but you stated very early that was never really the issue that we were to adjudicate. We have a matter here regarding the issues of virtues of political parties and this is what we are coming to. The question is; do we go with what that political party is 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."
