    "content": "In you, I see a blend between the wit of the Deputy Speaker and the seriousness of Hon. Speaker who has been with us since the last Parliament. I am sure you will proceed on the same lines. In supporting this Motion, I want the Members to know that it is well thought out. In fact, it gives Members the time to go and campaign for the repeat election on 26th October 2017. I want to remind this House about our responsibilities as Members of the National Assembly. What are we going to do during the recess? I am sure Members have weighed their responsibilities in the House and in the constituency. They should be balanced in such a way that you do not lose on either. Despite the fact that we belong to different parties and despite the fact that we represent different constituencies, the fact is that we are national leaders. As leaders of the nation, we are expected to provide leadership in matters of politics in the country. When I listen to Members of this House contributing to any topic, I see serious men and women. I see persons who are serious about our country and people who mean well. One thing I have noticed amongst all of us here is that we are not skilled in conflict resolution. A lot is wanting in that line. Even those of us who call themselves peace makers are failing. There are Members of this House who will not finish their contribution without throwing a barb either at His Excellency the President or at Raila Odinga. Fair enough, doing that may earn you a headline or a sub headline, but what does it do to our country?"
