    "content": "them have been implemented. One of them was the signing of the IEBC legislation and the NADCO Report. I tell the President that leadership is about consultation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, there are a number of things that the Government has done and if given room, a number of issues raised will be addressed. The Finance Bill that was dropped by the President was not dropped because MPs were wrong, it was dropped because they needed a dialogue on some of the areas that the hustlers or citizens of this country were feeling unsatisfied. It is high time that we leave our political affiliations and put Kenya first. All African countries are looking at us, a country that has been ahead in a number of things like democracy. Today, we are trending because of partly, politics and corruption. It is time that we upped the game as it is no longer business as usual. Voices have been raised. What is doable should be done. Those riots have caused businesses to be lost. Some businesses were vandalized and others were burnt and the general unrest all have a direct effect on the economy. If there is no flow of money, we are then looking at a hurting economy. Riots also affected investors. Investors must feel that the country is safe for them to invest. If all these things are going to take place, even the investors who could employ the young people will run away from this country. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we saw a number of businesses being destroyed. Not by the Gen Zs, but by those who decided that it was advantageous to them to do wrong. That is why they came to Parliament to vandalize, not because they hate Parliament but because some few individuals were trying to score politically. The way forward is not to point fingers at who did what and who did not. The leaders in the Senate at such a time; history will judge us harshly. I call upon the leaders to lead with integrity of Chapter Six of the Constitution of Kenya. The Bible says that to whom much is given, much shall be expected from them. Much is expected from us, as leaders, in the two Houses, in different Ministries and across the parastatals. I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir."
