    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. The last speaker has actually read my mind. One of the core things I wanted to say after yesterday somebody; a member of the public sent me a message and said the last time there were wrong appointments in this country, we saw bloodshed. We lost thousands of Kenyans! This is not a question of mere appointment. This is a question of preserving the rule of law. Recently, I was in a very small country called Botswana where a member of the party has taken the President to court and you can see because they respect the rule of law that country is progressing. I was ashamed at that point at what is going on in this country. We must rise up as leaders and save this country. It is through things that look small like a mere appointment of a director through which we can restore the dignity and pride of the country called Kenya. We are losing this country and we are taking this country for a ride. Kenyans are tired of the things that we do in this country as leaders. We must, therefore, rise up to the occasion. If the Executive is wrong, as legislators, we must tell them: No, and we say so categorically. I know there are hon. members who are saying that we must go on Recess because we need to go on leave. There is nobody who needs to go on leave much more than I need. I am married, my husband lives out of this country and I have natural duties to my husband but I am willing to postpone them because of an urgent matter. I know there are hon. Members who are offering to help but this is not the time to help!"
