    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very disappointed today. If you look at what has been happening since 2007, the country has not been stable politically. We are not really thinking about the future of Kenya. We can go on talking about Committees and all that, but let me tell you that the other countries around us are looking for ways of how they can take business away from Kenya! We do business with countries like Uganda, Tanzania and Congo. While we are here talking and fighting, they are looking for ways on how to cripple us. I think we should look at matters that are very important. This is a small thing. We should not be talking about Committees. We have bigger things to deal with in this country. So, it is very important for the two principals to sit down and sort out this issue once and for all. We want this country to function for the benefit of the youths of this country. So many people do not want to come and invest in this country now because they are not seeing stability. What are we doing to the future of our children? This is not fair! It is time we stopped all this and started thinking about the future of our country. Some of the people here, their sun is setting but we have others whose sun is rising. So, we cannot cut the future of the youth of this country and make it unstable. If we really care and love Kenya, it is time we did something. If we do not sort ourselves out as Members of Parliament, none of us will come back here again because Kenyans are sick and tired of us fighting everyday. The people who should make decisions should do so. We should stop all the squabbles. I kindly request the President and the Prime Minister to sit down and think about the future of the youth of this country. About 75 per cent of the population of this country is composed of youth."
