    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are not going on recess until our friends, our brothers and sisters on the other political divide approach their political leader as Pharaoh was also counselled by his counsellors, but God had designed that his heart should remain hardened. Please our colleagues, Sen. Cherarkey, you have the ear and access to the President. What benefit do you get by leading a dead, injured, sick nation or an unhappy nation? Whose happiness is more important? Is it Joe Biden or the people of Kenya? President Ruto, we expect you to climb down and respond to the concerns of Kenyans; to talk to your children and to provide leadership. If that does not happen, the Gen Zs showed us yesterday what they are capable of doing. Revolutions start like that. If you read a tale of two cities, Charles Dickens' account of the French Revolution; revolutions start like it did yesterday. Do we want a revolution in Kenya? Perhaps we need a revolution, but I conclude by crying out to my party leader Raila Amolo Odinga. Baba, we need you. I wish you did not have to go to Addis Ababa. How I wish you were here to provide leadership, counsel, statesmanship and direction for a country that is in dire need of leadership for direction and statesmanship. What we do not have in this country is statesmanship. We have politicians and people who have come across cash and do not know how to conduct themselves in the presence of cash. It is like someone who has been hungry for too long and finds a huge banquet on the table. They are now just showing us what they call madharau in Kiswahili. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we hope that this nation will not degenerate. When it goes down, it does not matter whether you are a Senator, a Member of the National Assembly, a member of UDA or Azimio, we will all go down. Baba, we need you."
