    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for this opportunity. Before I join my colleagues in welcoming the newly elected Senator for Machakos, allow me to join you in welcoming a distinguished Kenyan, a man that I have immense respect for, a man that I worked with in the 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th Parliament and we did so much together politically; His Excellency Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka together with the powerful delegation that you have led to the Senate this afternoon, welcome. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you in welcoming the newly sworn in Senator for Machakos, kudos. You put up a very good fight. I was following all your campaigns, and as Sen. Orengo said, as others went low, you insisted that you would remain high. You are in the right place. This is a House where we do very mature debates. As you have been told, you are in good company. With the election of Sen. Kavindu Muthama, I think the Senate now achieves the two-thirds gender rule in the House. If Justice Maraga’s ruling is to be upheld, then the Senate will not go home because we have achieved that gender rule."
