"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to support this Motion. First, I thank all the Members of this House for the maturity they have shown in the last three months. Being a new Member of the Senate, I expected politicians from both political divides to display some animosity. I must say that all of us conducted ourselves with a lot of decorum. I therefore, say thank you very much. I take this opportunity to thank all Kenyans for having maintained peace during and after the elections. I specifically thank the people of Nyeri County for overwhelming electing me as their Senator. I would also like to warn Kenyans at large that we are going into the Christmas festivities; there is always a tendency to spend like as if it is last day. We must never forget that January is coming when we will take kids back to school. As people engage in the mood of celebrating Christmas, it is important for us to remember in January, we are taking kids to secondary schools. This time around, it is going to be the lower secondary and the upper secondary and that is going to be quite demanding on the part of the parents. The parents should therefore be very prudent and to know that there is life after Christmas. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I commend the Chairs who have sat on that Chair. You have guided us well, specifically, the new Members. I thank the staff of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) who have shown a lot of dedication towards guiding us into the right path. It would not be in order not to mention that I have never seen Kenyans committed in showing other Kenyans the right way as I have seen in the PSC. We should deploy PSC officers elsewhere to show people what service with dedication means. I thank them for their service."
