    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to beg both sides because I think, three weeks or a month ago the House leadership was in Mombasa. I personally raised many of these issues which have been raised by hon. Musimba because I thought it was away from public glare. It is good for the House to know that we decided we want to move in a different direction as a Parliament. We wanted to do things differently and I want to say that the hon. Speaker has really been trying to enforce the provisions of the Standing Orders since we came from Mombasa as we agreed. You know, a thank you is good when it is relevant but there is nothing which has been raised on the Floor of this House which is not truthful. The evidence which has been tabled is true and the offences taken by the hon. Member could have appeared malicious to him. He has taken a stand. There is even one attributed to me from the hon. Speaker but I am saying, it is incumbent upon us as a House to point out our mistakes as we move forward. How we rise to the occasion is what matters. This particular House, not even Parliament but the National Assembly is on the public prism today, as we speak. It is good for us to wake up and move in a way that the confidence of the public shall be inspired from now onwards. That includes the hon. Speaker of the National Assembly. It truly does and we must move forward. If those were the issues, this particular Motion is a narrow Motion. You will agree with me we discussed its contents in Mombasa. If we had called a Kamukunji and addressed hon. Members on our resolutions in Mombasa, there would never have been this Motion.
