    "content": "you have had a good glass of wine to go out there and drink a soda. I will not discuss the ruling of the Chair yesterday. The Speech by the President contained many issues. It left a lot out of what he said. In the process, he raised very critical issues which are the mandate of this House. This House needs to take it upon itself to correct whatever wrongs have occurred. Everybody seems to be talking about how the ruling of the Chair was wrong and, therefore, something needs to be done. If this House feels that there is something wrong with the way the Coalition Government is going, it should fix it. Everybody in this House keeps throwing words about; on how we cannot move; we are infringing on the Executive and the Judiciary and there is nothing we can do about it. Who makes the laws in this country? It is this House. If Members feel that there is a problem with the Executive, then they should come to this House and tell us what they want the President to do and what the Prime Minister should do. For now, they exist in the current disposition. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have heard the words of Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry. We are always hiding behind the issue of tribalism in this country. One of the reasons why we are refusing, in this House, to fix our problems is because we are suffering from selective amnesia where, when one of our own gays has been given a job, even if he does not qualify, we do not question. However, when another guy, who is not one of âusâ has stolen, we want to lynch him. This House must come above board and we must figure out what to do with our tribalism. The Americans brought in the laws of the affirmative action to solve the problems of race and that is why Obama is the President of America today. We must sort out the problem of tribalism, legally and legitimately, because the issues of this country are about distribution of resources. Before we agree on equity and on how we will distribute resources from the north eastern part of Kenya to the southern tip of Lake Victoria, we will never solve the problems of this country. So, I believe, just like the President said, that the challenges are great. This House is being called upon to change the destiny of this country. We should agree, as Members of this House, to legitimize our existence because we are not solving the problems of this country. Dr. Khalwale said that the problem was with the Prime Minister, Mr. Raila. He also said that the problem lay with the President or even the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs, Mr. Musyoka. However, the problems of this country are about the Members of Parliament. That is why I was proud yesterday when 70 MPs agreed to put their party interests aside and talk as colleagues. We said that we should not demonize our colleagues, our President or even the Prime Minister. We said that we are in this problem together and we agreed to solve the problem together. The problems of this country cannot be solved by one individual. The responsibility of what must be done lies with this House. Yesterday, as a Member of Parliament, said we have children who are between eight and ten years old. Where will these children go? If this country collapses, where will our children go? Some of us have grandchildren. Which grandfather would want to destroy a country where his grandchildren should stay? It is a shame to all of us. We must be honest and candid with ourselves. We must bring genuine reforms. I love your ruling. Let us not cheat ourselves. Judges are appointed but their appointment is not done in a transparent manner. If there is an issue to be discussed, like Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry said, let us bring the laws to this House and be firm so that the Judicial Service Bill is brought to this House. That way, everyone will know that if they want a"
