    "content": " All right. Hon. Speaker, I received your summons. You know very well that I respect you in terms of your person and that I also respect the Chair and the Speaker of this House. I actually suspended a lot of constituency business to come and respond, and to show respect to your summons. Therefore, from the outset I want this House and even the Chair to know that I take this House very seriously. I take the Hon. Speaker very seriously. I am sure I am on record even saying on the Floor of this House that among the people I look up to is none other than J. B. Muturi, in terms of experience and years. Therefore, on anything that I could say, especially referring to the Chair, I would not be referring to you as a person. I could term myself as a youthful MP. Like many other young people out there, many of us look for opportunities and actually aspire to come to this august House. The expectations out there on this House are enormous. When I was a bit younger and I could watch the debate from other prominent MPs who have been in this House before, I could see dignified people conducting themselves in a very dignified manner and so, I would want to give my response in a forthright manner, without holding anything back. Hon. Speaker, for a country to start and for a nation, especially a modern nation to start, I believe there are three prerequisites. One is to have a strong state. Two is to have the rule of law. Three is to have accountability."
