    "content": "Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to make my contribution to this Motion. I am normally baffled when something of this magnanimity is before men and women who have responsibility and people yell. There is nothing which has been said on the Floor of this House by the prior two speakers that is not worth of our noting. So, I think it is good to be sober about it. When this Motion was floated, hon. Musimba rose on the Floor in this House to name the hon. Speaker very unprocedurally. I met him in the corridors and told him: “You cannot do that. You will look disorganised. You do not look parliamentary.” So, he has done the right thing which is within our Standing Orders. The least we can do is to hear each other out. This is not a Motion where people vote for those of us who are new and I know 74 per cent are new. This is a Motion where you just express yourself and you may even stand here to praise the hon. Speaker. This country and this Parliament are at serious crossroads. The more we listen to ourselves the more sense we will make to our country. This is the National Assembly of Kenya and cannot be for CORD or Jubilee. In any case, the Mover of the Motion is an independent Member of Parliament. Maybe sometimes it may take an independent person to create sense in the majorities who are not listening."
