    "content": "I appeal to this House, to stand up and talk in a voice of reason and bring the cost of living down by having a candid discussion about the things that we have to do as legislators. It is through legislation and candid discussions. When the Cabinet Secretaries come into this House, we see the Minority side walk out. An opportunity that they have to ask questions that they really feel are important. Madam Temporary Speaker, let us not lie to Kenyans any more. Let us say it is all about ourselves and power. Even if we are to have negotiations or any discussions, it must be from everybody. From the Member of County Assembly (MCA) who lost all the way to the President who lost. This is because it cannot be that; in an election where we have six candidates, the only problem we have is with one single candidate. It is so unfortunate that this country has been held hostage by one single person who believes it is either his way or the highway. He does not care how many Kenyans are going to die for him to get to power. Madam Temporary Speaker, we must stand to be counted. It is time that we stood for Kenyans and say that this country is bigger than one person. As I sit down, I urge the Minority side; let us close ranks and say what is it that disturbs you, we see it as leaders. We do not have to go and kill Kenyans. I see a Senator, a young man who has a potential, but he is painting his hands with blood. It is so unfortunate that 30 years down the line when we are long gone, people will remember that this is the person who used to lead the death of young people. Madam Temporary Speaker, I support."
