    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Sir, I continue with my contribution. The President alluded to the fact that he will have an open and transparent Government. He also said that he will be a firm believer in democracy and the rule of law. Those of us on this side want the President to live to his word. Some of the actions that he has started do not live to this spirit. When you talk about belief in democracy, you say it, but we have seen the President himself poaching members from this other side. We have seen him engaging in illegal post-election agreements when the law is very clear that you can only have one coalition agreement at a time. We had a very serious debate here yesterday on the same. It touched on the rule of law and non-belief in democracy. That is a good thing but we will hold the President accountable for his own speech that is tabled in this House; that he is going to be a firm believer in democracy. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President also talked about the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) as part of a saving strategy. The NSSF belongs to the workers and cannot be part of a National Government saving strategy. That is money for our workers. We saw how money was stolen from NSSF during the Kenya African National Union (KANU) Government."
