    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. At the outset, I congratulate the new Leader of the Majority Party for assuming his new role. At the same time, I also thank the former Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Aden Duale, for the good job he has done in this House. I was in the 11th Parliament when Hon. Duale was the Leader of the Majority Party then. That Parliament was more difficult than this one. This one is under the framework of the Handshake. The temperatures have gone down. In the last Parliament, the Leader of the Majority Party really did his job. As the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) then, we had to plan very well to defeat Duale in this House. I want to tell my brother Duale that, as former President Moi said, “ Cheo ni cha wananchi. Sisi ni wadhamini wao ”. You serve when you have been given an opportunity and you leave when the opportunity ends. I want to tell the new Leader of the Majority Party that we will work with him. I know you have all the experience. I know that you were the Leader of Government Business in the 10th Parliament and you are equal to the task. We will work together as a Parliament and see how we can advance the agenda of the people of Kenya. Politics is very difficult, Leader of the Majority Party. When the going gets tough, do not die. Remain strong. Do not say that you would rather die than resign. Do not die. Just stay alive. We shall support you. Dying is the worst thing that can happen. To the former Leader of the Majority Party, politically, my brother, when you see us following Baba like cows, we fear the consequences like the ones you are facing now. Politics is like that, Mkubwa . If you go against the wishes of the people who own parties and who lead this country, the consequences are dire. It is a good experience for me. I will be more loyal than I was. I will sing Baba throughout."
