00:00 The governor, after the brief few weeks of camaraderie,
00:05 adopted a defiant stance in which she held,
00:09 and she has it even in her own evidence,
00:12 several public rallies defiantly telling
00:14 whoever came to listen, "Kaende, kaende, kabate, kabate."
00:19 "Kaende, kaende, Mr. Speaker," is Sheng,
00:24 is Nairobi slang for I don't care,
00:28 whatever will be, will be, I'll do what I do.
00:31 In Swahili they say, "Naliwe liwalo."
00:34 That is the meaning of kaende, kaende,
00:37 and we'll be showing you how throughout the last one year,
00:40 even after the graceful lessons from Senator Tobiko,
00:44 I recall, from the other senators,
00:46 the governor's mantra in persisting on this series
00:51 of misconduct is, "I don't care, whatever will be, will be."
00:56 "Kiusera, kiusera, whatever will be, will be."
01:00 She doesn't care about the consequences,
01:03 the future, and what not.
01:05 That is how, Mr. Speaker, we have come before you
01:08 with a motion arranged under seven thematic counts,
01:13 setting out that nine specific forms of gross violations
01:18 of the law and the constitution,
01:22 and which in our humble submission
01:25 are conduct and becoming of any leader.
01:29 Mr. Speaker, we expect, and it will happen,
01:33 although I'm not a prophet,
01:36 just like last time,
01:38 the governor will appear on this podium
01:41 taking the posture of an innocent and vulnerable victim
01:46 of toxic masculinity, harmful patriarchy,
01:51 gender stereotyping, political schemes.
01:54 That's what our response tells you.
01:56 It is back to, "It wasn't me," by Shege.
02:00 And the governor, if you want to confirm it,
02:03 at page two of our response,
02:05 she tells you this motion will not be here.
02:08 It is a scheme by a deputy who is power hungry
02:11 to take the governorship through the back door.
02:16 She tells you it is the enduring checker.
02:18 She tells you if our own officials,
02:22 our own secretary, our own chief of staff
02:26 has done anything wrong,
02:28 even the things she acknowledged,
02:29 she said they bear their own responsibility.
02:33 "It wasn't me."
02:34 In short, she will come to you looking as meek as a lamb.
02:39 But luckily we have lived through the experience,
02:42 Mr. Speaker.
02:43 Our message to the Senate is if you acquit her this time,
02:48 she will walk out this door and it will be "kaende kaende,"
02:52 "kyusera kyusera."
02:54 Whatever will be, will be.
02:56 I don't care.
02:57 Naliwe Liwalo and Meru will be back
03:01 to the perpetual, endless crisis
03:05 that has been gulfed for a year.
