    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I would expect even the House to call the Deputy Leader of Majority to order. The Majority Leader is not in the House. One would expect that the Deputy Majority Leader, who is the dejure deputy leader of government business, to make a Statement on behalf of the Government on the issue of fuel crisis in the country. What we have heard is very gibberish talk that does not amount to the Government either giving an explanation or defending its position or convincing Kenyans that the genesis of this crisis is this, this is where we are and these are the steps we are taking to resolve it. Apart from acknowledging that there is a crisis, the Leader of Government in the House has absolutely said nothing about this crisis. If the leadership of government can treat this House like this, then, this country is in a serious crisis. Secondly, the Leader of Government Business in the House, cannot question your ability and your rationality to approve a Motion of Adjournment because this Motion is approved from your Chair. So, she cannot then come and tell you that you should have sent this Motion to a committee to investigate. You saw that there was a crisis, looked at the Motion and the Standing Order under which it came and saw it fit that leaders in this House as representatives of the people who are suffering out there have a duty and must be given an opportunity to ventilate. The Government may resign or may not, it is up to them. They will wrestle with their conscience but the country expects responses that are rational, reasonable, and factual which will help Kenyans including my brother, the Mover of the Motion, understand why we have this crisis and for how long it will persist. Madam Temporary Speaker, no such thing has come from the Leader of Government business. This is a very sorry state of affairs. In a House of reason, wise people and one that is different from the other House---"
