    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have been patiently waiting, but I am told the mistake was mine. Nevertheless, let me join my colleagues in congratulating Team Kenya led by the President, His Excellency Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta, and all those who were involved in lobbying for this position at the UN Security Council. It is a manifestation that Kenya is highly regarded in the world and, therefore, it is important that we sit where key decisions are being made. It is a reward for our dedication towards world peace and peace keeping missions in the region, especially Somalia. Also, a dedication towards world activities and a reward for the good performance for our ambassadors the athletes, and all other people who are associated with Kenya and have been trailblazers. I am sure such kind of an exalted position brings jealousy. But as my colleagues have said, once elections are done, it matters less. We serve everybody who is a UN Member regardless of who voted for us or who did not. We must demonstrate our commitment to the rule of law and democracy because, ultimately, that is what UN Security Council is all about. With those few remarks, I want to congratulate Team Kenya and let us give a pat to ourselves and, especially, the Right Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga for his support to bring peace and tranquility in this country. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker."
