"content": "No, it is not even about âtell themâ or âhearâ. This is to all of us because it happens on both sides. Kenyans are looking at us and they expect leadership from this House. There is a spirit that brings us here. Article 95 of the Constitution states that we are here to represent people. For us to perform better we are at liberty to call a Cabinet Secretary or sit in another chamber. Let us think outside the box. We can be creative as leaders. Despite the specific letter of the law, there is the spirit. When hon. Toboso stands up to ask a question about security he needs an answer to go to his people. I do not think when such a question is raised it is to assert the power of a Committee, the chairperson or the Leader of Majority Party. We have confidence in the leadership of this House, but let us be creative enough to offer solutions. Let us be pragmatic when discussing issues of importance to the people we represent. That is my humble and passionate appeal to this House."
