"content": "(Prof. Saitoti): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to, first of all, support very strongly, namely that as we sit here, we need to reflect seriously on what the Kenyans who brought us here are thinking of us today. We spent a lot of time yesterday and we have spen a lot of time today, yet we appear to be giving the impression that we, as legislators, are unable to agree on the appointment of the House Business Committee (HBC). We should draw a programme of work that can address the problems and challenges that Kenyans face. We are speaking at a time when the majority of Kenyans are today facing a famine that is more severe than they have ever faced before. We are meeting at a time when we have some of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) still languishing in camps without shelter and food. We are spending time here when we have a lot of unemployed youth; our boys and girls. We are also talking at a time when the global financial crisis is against us and it is trickling deeply and creating difficulties of unemployment. All Kenyans have placed their hopes on us, as hon. Members, to formulate total reforms and provide answers to their problems."
