daughter is defiled and the defiler sells a piece of land and pays you. This is what I call blood money. The greed of politicians has gone to our parents. It is happening in the village. Why is it that people are not being told this? It is because the chief, the teacher, head teacher and the village elder is there. There is something for everybody; kitu kidogo.

There is a gentleman called Jimmy Gathu, with whom Sen. Sakaja and I, used to do a show. When we were young, there was something called “Kuchill”. Maybe these are the lessons all of you have spoken about. Sen. Kwamboka, when the women of this country are attacked by the men, you come out guns blazing and spare no moment. I have not seen a huge press conference of Inua Mama and Embrace on protecting our girls. Can you embrace our daughters? Fight for them because this is part and parcel of what you are doing in Embrace, Inua Mama ...

.: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very strange argument coming from a lawyer; a person who was the Majority Leader of this House and who takes pride in the drafting of the County Governments Act. I will read Article 124 of the Constitution, so that Sen. Murkomen can allow the proceedings of this House to continue. It says - “Each House of Parliament may establish committees, and shall make Standing Orders for the orderly conduct of its proceedings, including the proceedings of its Committees.” In simple English, the orderly conduct of this Senate, Plenary and Committees, is the conduct ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you must restrain Sen. Murkomen because he cannot interrupt us. We are not bystanders in this Senate. Some of us got more votes than him, and if we want to brag, we can do so. He must listen!

The Constitution is very clear that our Committees are Committees of the House, and the conduct of those Committees is the conduct of the Senate. Similarly, in Article 125, that is why we have given the mandate of the Committees to act as a court. It is a Committee. Why is Sen. Murkomen behaving like a stranger in Jerusalem? Dismiss that point of order.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this process was very important. It appears that we have a series of impeachments coming along the way. It is important that Sen. Malalah was clear about the threshold. Even if MCAs sleep in their county assembly or plant trees and the threshold is not met, we have set the standards.

I am glad that I sat in the Committee that looked at the impeachment of Governor Chepkwony because we set a standard. I want to ask all the MCAs to read the Authority of Supreme Court of Nigeria which was ably quoted by the Supreme Court of Kenya in the Wambora’s case. It says: “A Governor or Deputy Governor, as a human being, cannot always be right and he cannot claim to be right always. That explains why Section 188 talks about gross violation. Accordingly, where a misconduct is not gross, then Article 188 is not a weapon of removal ...
