"content": "provided for in the Standing Orders, there would be no way of turning back the train. So, it is a good day for our country. We must believe in an open society. I attended the Parliamentary Week when Parliament opened its gates to the public. We cannot have the choice of opening our gates for only one week in a whole year. As legislators, let us open all doors to the media, as a watchdog of the people, so that they can scrutinize us personally and our integrity. They should scrutinise the reports that Committees do in this House. They should scrutinise the offices that we hold and what goes on in this Chamber fundamentally for one reason: Because we represent the people of Kenya. The 349 of us here are the watchdog of the people out there. So, let us live by this progressive Constitution of transparency and accountable leadership where we open ourselves to the people of Kenya. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman."
