"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope that you will protect me from being gagged by Sen.Murungi, who knows that I respect him most abundantly. In fact, in our other lives, we share very many things. Let him not intimidate me. I must be allowed to enjoy freedom of expression especially while on the Floor of the Senate. However, let me persuade my senior to bear with me. I was simply addressing the very reason why we are changing the calendar of Parliament. He said that the reason is that we want to come and listen to the President. By the way, for the purposes of Sen. Cheruiyot, the people who fought very hard so that Parliament could have its own calendar in the history of this Parliament are only two Members of Parliament (MPs), the Hon. Peter Oloo Aringo and the Hon. Charles Keter, his predecessor. So, when we are changing it, let it not look like it is a very simple thing. I was just simply saying that I also hope that as we listen to the President, the things that he will utter in his Address will be converted from promises to performance. We were told about some funny list of shame where they said that governors were supposed to step aside. We only saw Cabinet Secretaries (CSs) stepping aside. How can the President allow a country whereby people who are supposed to step aside in the name of governors just to remain in office? Where was Government? We want to fight corruption both in word and deed; with practice. I support most abundantly."
