    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, impunity is not just at the top level of leadership of this society. Impunity is everywhere at every level of society. Every time we sweep issues under the carpet, we increase the level of impunity. Today, it is not uncommon for you to be driving in the streets of Nairobi and find that people no longer respect simple traffic rules. When it says stop for a pedestrian, nobody bothers to stop. When the light is red, people drive past because we have proven over and over again that we can break the rules and nothing happens to us. We have proven over and over again that we can break the rules, but there is no consequence. Well, there may be consequence. It may not be now or tomorrow, but there will be consequence if we bring back the rule of law and sanity in the way we conduct the affairs of this country. We saw last year, the beginning of those sorts of consequences. So, I think we, as leaders, have to ask the simple question: Do we want to heal? Do we want to solve the problem or do we wish to wait until it gets out of hand for us to grapple with it? The way to solve the problem is to ensure that we have a credible process that deals with the crimes that were committed."
