"content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, we are aware that the world is also going through an acute financial crisis, right from the most developed economies. Indeed, the events like the impact of the tsunami in Japan are also anticipated to produce a world financial crisis. We cannot really ignore these issues. This brings me to the way we are handling out politics at the national level. It is important that I also go on record by expressing concern that we cannot imagine ourselves as leaders in trying to exercise what is our democratic right or to imagine that our system can withstand all manner of political grandstanding positions. Leaders are clearly making inflammatory statements against each other. When we look at it from the point of view of our needs as a country, we have many challenges that we are expected to address. Wananchi look upon the leaders to offer solutions to serious problems but it only seems that we have the capacity to focus so much attention on issues about 2012 or even about the International Criminal Court (ICC) which in the nature of our interest are temporary distraction from our collective survival as a country."
