I also saw the incident yesterday. Kiguchwa is not a Level 4 or Level 3 facility. It is just a dispensary. We are putting up a maternity facility. Perhaps the woman that went to that place was also assisted by the person in charge of that facility. As I said, it has no maternity wing.

The allegation is wrong because I do not see if I am able to buy any MCA. Immediately after the third impeachment Motion, I called Mr. Mawira as the majority leader then, to bring us together and also bring other MCAs as their leader. From that time, he has faced many challenges. As he said, joining this other camp and refusing to fight the government.

Having been elected as an independent candidate, the first time the impeachment Motion was brought here, I had only one out of 69 MCAs. I did a lot of effort to bring them together. In the second impeachment Motion, I had 10 of them. After, the second impeachment, I went ahead and tried to see how we can work with them together. I can proudly say that up to now, I have 23 MCAs on my side.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker and the hon. Senators. Since I am here, let me say the truth. The issue of MCAs in Meru County, one leader who is trying to fuel and bring disharmony is no one else, but the Deputy Speaker of this House. Several times I have tried to reach to him, so that I can at least say sorry to him, but he does not avail himself. I tried to reach the Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations Committee of this House to come to Meru County, but he said through his people, that at no time the Committee ...
