    "content": "to talk responsibly. As much as you want positions in power, you know that you have a country to carry on. Our former Deputy President knows very well that after serving five or 10 years, for example, a leader will have to vacate office. The former President is now in retirement, enjoying his peace and tranquilly. It is not proper for him to say that if he cannot get the position, then he has to burn the whole country and bring the people down. It is quite immoral, wrong and illegal. We have election disputes all over. We have a court system, all the way from the High Court to the Supreme Court. We know very well that we have timelines to solve cases. The Rt. Hon. Prime Minister has lost several cases and it is very honourable enough of him that he has not burned this country. He is one of the people who have run for elections for the longest time in this country. I advise Members and colleagues in the House that, despite us admonishing wrong talks and asking leaders to speak correctly, it does not mean we are against an individual. We are telling him that his utterances are wrong. He is a Kenyan like any other. He is supposed to ensure that what he utters and preaches is peaceful, including when assisting women through the harambee system and all the things we do in our societies that have really assisted members of our society. I rise to support the Motion and say that the actions of the Deputy President were not right."
