    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think Sen. Kang’ata wanted to disrupt me so that I lose my train of thought, but I have not. I was talking about the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). The Senate Majority Leader spoke about this at length. It is important that in the building of bridges, the Senate is recognized as the House that brings this country together. Therefore, in reference to the Address by His Excellency the President, it is important that the drafters and the team that is looking at this document find a consensus where devolution is given prominence. The House that deals with it is us. I wind up with a comment by Albert Einstein. It is important for us because we are in leadership. For purposes of the pandemic, I have said that my own family is bereaved. I hope that leaders can take the cue in their political gatherings and speeches. We must take the lead because people are following what we do, unfortunately, they are losing their relatives. Lastly, the peace of this country cannot be taken for granted. We cannot take it for granted that we are attempting to amend a Constitution during a time of peace. The year 2010 was an opportunity. We amended the Constitution at a time of peace. This is also an opportunity to amend the Constitution at a time of peace. Change our Constitution at a time of peace."
