    "content": "That is the system we are looking for! But, today, ultimately, the buck stops with the President! But, today, you cannot bring the President of Kenya into this Parliament and tell him: \"Answer these Questions\". That is why we want a parliamentary system in which the Chief Executive comes to the House and answers to the people. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think people are misunderstanding those of us who are talking about parliamentary systems. When hon. Ruto said that the President should be elected by Parliament, it is nothing new! All the major democracies of the world do it that way. In Germany, the President is elected by Parliament. But the Chief Executive is the Prime Minister, who is answerable to the people. The largest democracy in the world, India, does the same. The October 15, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2743 Chief Executive is the Prime Minister, who is answerable to the people. I think that, if we had a Chief Executive sitting in this House and listening to the cries of hon. Ababu Namwamba, the solution in Budalangi could be found very easily. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
