Kenya is watching all of us. As a House, we must prosecute this matter away from the committee. I strongly oppose the Motion. We should not take the committee route; let us go the plenary way, so that maybe people can openly see what we are doing to make sure that Meru is safe and we do not have a repeat of the same again. I oppose."},{"id":1463043,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1463043/?format=json","text_counter":169,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen.

I also want to oppose the Motion and suggest the option of going plenary way, so that we give a chance to the people of Meru and the entire country to understand and even follow the proceedings and uphold transparency. They will understand how and why this Governor is coming to this House a third time.

Nyamu","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is not right for Members to try and invalidate the committee way, yet the Third Schedule of our Standing Orders provide for both the removal by committee and plenary. It is not right to say or imply before this House that one way is more legal or better in any way than the other. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not true that the whole House will not participate in the removal or saving of the Governor because finally when the committee is done with the report, it will be brought here for debate and the final vote by these Members. I agree that the issue of Meru County has elicited a lot of interest in the country. It is true it is the third time she is being impeached. It is the third time she is coming before the Senate. As a committee, we should be given the opportunity to interrogate these issues and get to the bottom of it. However, reading the mood of the House, I want to agree with majority of the Members that we go the plenary way. I thank you."},{"id":1463045,"url":"http://info.mzalendo.com/api/v0.1/hansard/entries/1463045/?format=json","text_counter":171,"type":"speech","speaker_name":"Sen. Chimera","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I strongly oppose this Motion in totality for three fundamental reasons. The first reason is that as the Senate, we are a House of order, procedure and precedent. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope you have reserved my time. As to the question of Meru County, this very House has set precedent. Every time the Governor of Meru County has come before us facing such charges, we have always gone plenary. Twice we have gone for plenary. Why then do you want to go--- The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
