    "content": "These are the last few months towards the General Elections because 2007 is the D-Day with our employer. We are called upon to rise up to this occasion. We are supposed to deal decisively with issues of corruption, constitutional review and the redefinition of our social values. We have been complaining to you about migration. I am not talking about the Mara Migration of August, but the migration of hon. Members between the two sides of this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a unique problem and we need to understand that ours is a transition Government and this is a transition Parliament. This is the first change of regime after Independence. It, therefore, means that to get over the difficulties that we are having now, it is not the course of law which will help us out of this. It is not Mr. Speaker we should be telling that he is failing. It is us who are failing. Those weaknesses we see which are enabling the situation of which we complain now, it is us the lawmakers who are going to tighten the law to make it impossible for another Parliament to be revisited by the sort of confusion that has been visited on this Parliament."
