    "content": "As I conclude, I once again appreciate the leadership of this House for making sure that this particular Motion is given prominence because we speak on behalf of our people. This message should go across all other people in leadership, including the county governments and the governors who are in office, where the problem is. We have resources sent out to the county governments, and yet, every other aspect of it has got challenges. In my County of Bomet, for example, the young generations have said that they are going to the streets tomorrow to demand for delivery of services. It is not because of anything else, but they have issues with the governance in office today. These are the people who do not need to be reminded of their rights. They have woken up and realised that there is a miss in the leadership. That space can only be filled when people are given the right to exercise and demand for what is theirs in law, without the interference of anyone. I encourage Kenyans to do the same thing because this is the only way we will keep the leaders in office in check. We will also let them know that if there is a failure, we will not keep quiet. It is our right as Kenyans and it is the right thing to do. If they are not ready to change and do as it is expected, it is time to pack and leave, and give room for Kenyans who are ready to lead. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity and look forward to the recommendations that will change the style of leadership in our great country of Kenya."
