    "content": "wonder, from which perspective is he looking at things. He is entitled to his opinion, but as an elected leader, a lot is left questionable. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have had different executives representing the Government, especially from the ministries, appear in this Parliament. However, they also answer to the President. It is in that platform during these addresses that Members can also escalate issues further and have proper discussions. In my opinion, the best formula would be; within those three days of the presidential discussion, a day should be set for the President to appear in the National Assembly with the Members of the National Assembly and another day, for the President to also appear in Senate with all the Senators. This is because all the 67 Senators represent the Republic of Kenya despite the political sides that we come from. The Constitution that we uphold is a Constitution for this country; it is not a Constitution for Dr. William Ruto. The best results that we can give to the generations to come are facts that can be addressed. Most of the time when we have this input, you realize that yes, there is a bit of repetitive discussions. However, when the debate is narrowed down to fewer minutes, then it gives Members a platform to just tackle the issues that have not been tackled. I agree with one of the good Senators in the House, Sen. Oketch Gicheru, that at times, the platform is used for lamentations. Kenyans did not give us this opportunity to lament. They gave us this opportunity because we are the change makers. We are the ones to shape the generations to be. In a nutshell, I support this Motion and look forward to us not using it to lament. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the timelines that Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale talked about that the President should appear within the timeline that is within the month the of April, then that should be so that we pride in upholding our Constitution as leaders. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Sir."
