Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Mheshimiwa, just two quick clarifications. You have told this House that you were not able to access the County Assembly. Did you report to any police station or do you have evidence to that effect including the phone calls? If you can table them kindly. Finally, I see your signature is number 59. The Meru County Assembly Standing Order No. 65(5), is specific on what you are signing. You have alluded that a number of people were induced to support this impeachment Motion. Is there possibility that you have also been induced to testify against ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, mine is to the witness. The witness has told us that the Meru County Assembly was competent when they vetted his son-in-law who happens to be a chief officer. Is it competent now that it carried out the impeachment proceedings? Secondly, in that meeting, were the words ‘impeachment of a governor’ used? Thirdly, when was the witness appointed as an official of the Njuri Ncheke ? My final question is whether this witness has the authority to speak on behalf of the Njuri Ncheke and whether the Cabinet Secretary in-charge of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry was ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.111, I propose that we move the limitation of debate and allow each and every Senator to speak for three minutes. If you can push that one up to around 11.25 p.m., then between 11:25, we give the Governor the chance to reply. We can move to vote at around 11:.0 p.m., so that we do not run a fail of the gazette noticed that we issued and we be able to finish today, so that we do not need to gazette another day. I propose and request Sen. Wambua to second.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, one, I congratulate Members of County Assembly. I predicted in December that we will come back where we are today during the first impeachment. It is their constitutional right. Impeachment is a political process. I am happy gender is not on trial. It is about the competency, ability and discharge of the work of the governor. The county assembly has gone beyond to prove that the governor could not account for Kshs78 million. It has been proven that the governor could not account for Kshs78 million. That charge has been proved. Number two, on the appointment, I ...

governor. It is very clear that the governor abdicated her duties on record. The governor said that she had delegated her roles to the county secretary. Number three, it goes to the point, where are the 1.5 million people of Meru County? It cannot be that the governor does not agree with Members of County Assembly (MCAs), the church, Njuri Ncheke and the 10 or 11 elected leaders. It is not that all others are wrong until you disenfranchise, humiliate, vilify and bully elected leaders in front of the President. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the President and the Deputy President have ...
