    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to quote “Effective leadership is not about making speeches.” It is not about being liked. You can be liked. I have so many people in this country who do not like me because of my political orientation and I have nothing against them. It is because I stand for a position that has political orientation. Maybe, tomorrow the same group will not like me if I change my political ideology, including the leadership behind me, but I would say leadership is defined by results and attributes. In my opinion, if you go down memory lane, in the last two years, hon. Muturi has brought reforms. In 2009, there were serious issues in the House of Commons like the Iraq arms scandal and the cash for questions. The Speaker then, hon. Martin, did nothing and what happened? Ultimately he was forced to resign. We want our Speaker to protect the integrity of Parliament. We want him to defend us. We want him to implement the Constitution and the Standing Orders to the letter. Those who will hate him can bring a censure Motion every six months. That is their right, according to the Standing Orders. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I oppose and we can do something else better that is waiting for this House."
