    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am supporting this Motion hoping that what is happening in this country is going to be resolved. Most of us have been in this country for long and in leadership positions as well; and after every five years, the same issues come up. From what has happened before, I feel we do not get to the bottom of the problem. This is because, if we go for elections and someone gets defeated, they should accept defeat. We have seen these shenanigans of high cost of living and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) year-in, year-out. What solutions are leaders bringing as far as the cost of living is concerned? Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have seen what the Senate Majority Leader has enumerated as the Agenda for this Committee. For the record, I do not see a solution to the underlying problem because this is not a one-person issue but also, I know this is a one-person issue and this is not the way issues should be resolved. If you lost elections, you lost. Go and wait for five years and see whether you will get through in another election. I hope that for the last time, this matter will be resolved. However, Kenyans are suffering and some have lost their lives. The high cost of living is still there and a solution should be made. I hope that this will be a solution but from the bottom of my heart, there is no solution to this problem. The same thing will be repeated in 2027 and I hope to be alive to see that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
