    "content": "still in denial that the little boys and girls who left their homes yesterday are today sleeping in a morgue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, even if it was you, with a teenage or a grown son, 20 or 21 years old, you had breakfast with him in the morning; you told him about the kind of things that you expect and wish for this nation. You reminded him that the Constitution protects him; that he can go and protest and present petitions to public authorities. You even told him that we have a reasonable Government and security force that will ensure that you are protected. Then, you get a call that your son is lying at City Mortuary or in a morgue somewhere in Eldoret or Nakuru. That is the reality we are dealing with. We cannot run away from our constitutional mandate when we have our people lying in morgues, hospitals, and detention centers. The very least we should do is call the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration to come to this House this afternoon and tell us the number of people who were killed yesterday while exercising their constitutional rights.

Make sure that people live within their means and that people who have consumed public resources do not come and vomit on our shoes and our feet. We know them; some of them are in this House while some are in the Executive. We cannot go on recess until we have held them to account and delivered them to Gen Z for punishment or necessary action, of course action within the Constitution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, why do we want to run away from our duty when Parliaments sits even when a country is at war? Is it because we do not have lunch? If we do not have lunch, Sen. Hamida has always provided meals for us. Is it because we have broken windows? We cannot lament about broken windows when we have broken limbs and people out there. We should also stop this blame of our Gen Zs. Look at our curriculum; what have these new adults been fed on in the school curriculum? These are the products of the free primary education of Mwai Kibaki and Raila Odinga. When it comes to fasihi and literature, their curriculum reads as follows; the"
