    "content": "We just need to embrace peace. As Martin Luther King says, we will not build a peaceful world by following negative paths. It is not enough to say that we must not wage war. This is not the period for us to get a break to go and wage war. We need to wage peace. We need look at Kenya as a wider space that God gave us and to protect it. There needs to be life after the 9th of August, 2022. So, as we go for this break, we know that some will come back here happy because they will be nominated or probably have direct tickets. Some will have lost hope. I pray that all of us come back here with hope that we are here to build Kenya, encourage and stand for one another. Parties, nominations, elections and leaders will come and go but you are here with a purpose. God gave you Kenya to protect it and make sure that it is a peaceful land where you will leave more generations that come, to enjoy the foundation that we built. Again, I wish all the best to Members who are going for nominations. For those who have direct tickets, all the best. Madam Temporary Speaker, I know you are one of the people who are very happy because at the moment, you do not have anybody opposing you. Probably, you need to encourage us and we belong to one Committee, that preaches peace. It is very important that us Kenyans and especially women, who suffer most when war started by some of the individuals becomes tragic, like that what we experienced the other day. I pray that this one becomes a unique nomination where reconciliation and people are encouraged to talk and come up with consensus. It is only one leader and one space at a time. So, more time will come for any other persons. If God stands for you, I pray that you go ahead, prosper and leave space for other to compete. Let us have a peaceful nation when we are competing just like our neighbors in Tanzania and many others have embraced peace. I pray that Kenya embraces peace at most and not war at all. Thank you. I support."
