Lusaka","speaker_title":"The Speaker","speaker":null,"content":"I cannot forget His Excellency the President and the Deputy President who are my party and deputy party leaders respectively for proposing my name as Speaker of the Senate. I will forever be grateful to them for giving me that opportunity and for the Senate accepting and voting for me to be their Speaker. If I had an opportunity, I would have wished to continue because this has been a good experience but I am sure we shall meet as we go to other stations to serve the Republic of Kenya. To all the Senators, thank you very much. I thank the Leadership. I thank experienced Senators like Sen. Khaniri. I thank Sen. Faki and Sen. Madzayo for the Kiswahili lessons that they took us through. I thank Sen. Shiyonga for introducing new vocabulary in the Senate. I also thank Sen. (Dr.) Zani for coming up with a new vocabulary"}
