Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me also take this opportunity to support this Motion. Allow me to thank both committees of the two Houses, together with their Chairpersons; my friend Sen. Cheptumo and Hon. Tongoyo. Mr. Douglas Kanja has done a good job for this country for the past 39 years. He started as a police constable and rose through the ranks.

Area Police Station, the way they live is not humane. How do you expect a police officer to work for the whole day and go back to those kinds of houses? That is terrible! I went to Ileretin in my county and visited police posts and police stations. The houses they live in were built in 1950s. I would like Mr. Kanja to visit Ileret, so that he can see how police officers live there and many other police stations. The other issue I would like to raise with Mr. Kanja, if he is approved, is about two Korean missionaries ...

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me also take this opportunity to oppose this Motion. We have had over 10 impeachment Motions for the last 10 years. Out of those, Governor Kawira Mwangaza is coming here for the third time. The first time the proceeding was done in a committee that was chaired by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. The second one was done in plenary. This should also be done in the plenary because Kenyans are looking at the Senate now, and we want to participate fully. I take this opportunity to completely disagree with the Senator for Nairobi ...

Mr. Speaker Sir, let me request for my three minutes, starting from now, because I am getting into a new subject now. Let me now divert to the Statement by Sen. Hezena Lemaletian. Some time back we went to Rwanda, Kigali and I got a taxi. That taxi would not start to move because I did not put on my belt. The driver told me that I had to put my belt on, otherwise, he would be fined and jailed for two days. So, I obliged. I am saying this because it is the rule of law. If you go ...
