    "content": "indicted by the people of this Republic”. We have failed in terms of what we need to do to get this country to where it is supposed to be. I have shared an example here that on 25th June, 2024, anybody driving a Prado was being stoned in the City of Nairobi. Although it is a car that is popular with MPs, very many Kenyans drive this car. It is one of the most ubiquitous cars in the streets of Nairobi. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, imagine you being a doctor or a lawyer and have nothing to do with Parliament and you are driving around the City and the people attack you because of the car that you are driving. It is a problem that we have to solve by our own conduct. We have put all of us in the line of fire. One of the nominated MCA was attacked while leaving the County Assembly of Nairobi. Her car was badly damaged. She was badly hurt, including her driver and had to get surgery. By the time people are saying, stop, this is not an MP, you are already dead. That is what we are saying. We need to come together and rise above all these differences that we have always had to have a conversation about our country. Kenya has changed forever. We must not allow ourselves to go back to the bad manners. I was seeing clips of young people on TikTok saying they are very happy there are no more strobe lights, sirens and people are not overlapping. They are asking where all the big vehicles have gone to in the streets of Nairobi?"
