    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity to speak to this very important Motion. On the very onset, I indicate that I fully support because of the nature and the importance of this Motion. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have been thrown into this position where we are at by the demonstrations that were commenced by Gen Z. These are our children who have observed and seen how the governance is being carried out in the Republic of Kenya. They have found their gaps and issues that have been wanting. It is very regrettable and I offer my deepest condolences to all the families who lost their children during this demonstration. It was uncalled for and maybe it could have been done in a much better way because no life needed to be lost. This nation has been in crisis in different times, but maybe the actors were different. One of the periods when this nation was in a crisis was when the new Constitution, the Constitution 2010, was being made and the way it was crafted by its drafters. I look at Article 10 of the Constitution and ask myself if the public sector, the State officers, public officers, the Executive, the Legislature and the Judiciary had bound themselves to the national values and principles of governance in Kenya, would we still have been where we were last week on Tuesday? In Article 10, we see the values and the principles that have been enunciated under the Constitution. These principles are supposed to apply and be interpreted in line with any person or any state organ, state officers, public officers who are entrusted with public responsibility of performing any public duty. These principles are supposed to apply across board and to any person who is given an opportunity to implement any public policy decision.
