    "content": "Thank you, hon. Speaker. I support the Statement from the Leader of the Majority Party. When we were elected to this House, the people who elected us placed a lot of confidence and trust in us to represent them and the people of Kenya on how to legislate and improve the way we live in our country. In the public eye, we now face a lot of problems of credibility. Parliamentarians do not have a good name out there. The Statement came timely although it should have come as soon as yesterday. However, as they say, ‘better late than never.’ It is important for us to look inwardly on what we can do to redeem our name as a House. If we leave it for a longer time then the public is watching. We should not ignore public opinion. Remember the elections day is the day of the long knives when the slaughter starts. From the last Parliament, I remember having raised some issues of confidence in the public on elected representatives like us with The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
