    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What this country lacks is firm, decisive, consultative and sacrificial leadership. If we had a leader in this country with those qualities, we would not be seeing the bickering that we are seeing in this Government. To the public, this Parliament has become one of the most unpopular parliaments. We do understand that this Parliament came at a time when none of us wanted this country to cry for a firm, decisive, consultative and sacrificial leadership. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to challenge our President that, as a President, he must take the mantle and lead this country using those qualities. Again, as some hon. Members have said, we are facing several crises. There are issues of insecurity in this country and several other issues. Only yesterday, the Mungiki in his own backyard, killed 26 people. He must show firm and decisive leadership to this country. The reason we are having bickering is because of what hon. Samoei has alluded to. This list is something that this Parliament would have passed in a record one minute, because I do not think anybody has a problem with it. But what we are seeing here is play-out of dissatisfaction with the way the Government is being run. Unless we call a spade, a spade and not a big spoon, we will be wasting the time of Kenyans. Therefore, I am squarely challenging the President of this country to show firm leadership!"
