    "content": "I want to encourage Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki to go back to the scriptures that he is fond of and reflect on the story of Pontius Pilate who was given the responsibility to make a decision between Barabbas the common thief and Jesus Christ of Nazareth. I have always asked myself what happened to Barabbas after he was released. Nobody knows what happened to Barabbas. He went into oblivion but Jesus Christ was crucified and everybody remembers him. Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki, you have served us well for the duration that you have done. However, your party has lost confidence in you. That is the point at which we say that the centre cannot hold and things fall apart. The future is bright. You will continue being a Member with us here in case the House also resolves that it has no confidence in you. I must say that while he sat on that chair, he made certain rulings and precedents that have strengthened this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let us finish these things so that we go back to the fight against COVID-19 and poverty. Let us set a good example for county assemblies to emulate. We have been blaming our county assemblies for leadership changes every other day. Let us not degenerate to the level that we have been condemning in the assemblies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, since the centre cannot hold because things have fallen apart, I support the Motion."
