    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, let me also say that I am pleased with the Address by the Head of State yesterday. We appreciate that the President, in his humility and wisdom, decided to have a handshake with the Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga, which created some peace and some order in the country. This was good ground and environment for the economy to grow and for the Government to perform its duties. It is for this reason that I say the President was guided by God and by wisdom. We should also go through the books of history and remember that had this been done before, this country would be much ahead. We do remember that the Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga did that kind of thing with the late President Moi at one time. He later on did it after the 2007/2008 elections, with retired President Mwai Kibaki. This is the kind of thing that we want leaders to emulate even after our elections, so that we can have a country that is moving together. We have to accept the result as they are declared. In the handshake and later on the BBI, there is the issue of inclusivity. It is quite important. I was happy with the President’s address when he mentioned that we need to revisit the contents of the BBI. I am sure that this will be done when we have a new President coming in and there is some organisation in Government."
