    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would also like to join my colleagues in supporting the Motion. I would like to start by saying that it is unfortunate that 60 years after independence, we are still fighting hunger in our country. Eight successful regimes have said they will bring us prosperity and an end to this kind of suffering to our people; but I think we are retrogressing as of now. I think this is because politics have become our daily bread. We have not decided on the way to make this country great as they say. The national Government and county governments are to be blamed because this drought has affected all of us. Narok is among the counties that have been affected, but nobody is concerned about this. When I hear people shouting here, blaming the President and part of the Government, this makes me wonder and laugh. Why do they not have courage to quit the Government? This is because they are speaking about some formations, yet they are in that Government they are saying has failed. One wonders whether we have political principles or morals in this country. I would like to call upon the Mover of this Motion to think twice about this kind of unnecessary criticism of his colleagues in the Government, the President and everybody else. I believe that in the 2013 to 2017 Government, everything went haywire from that time because Hon. Kibaki really made this country into something. The moment they came in, they went on a looting spree, and they destroyed everything. So, the blame should not even be in the Government of this time, but it should be in the 2013 to 2017 Government; and you know who were in charge."
