    "content": "h (Kikuyu, UDA): I am sorry, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I was just looking up at the Speaker’s Row because I could not trace one of the successful candidates. Allow me to take this opportunity to, first, thank all the Members of the 13th National Assembly for the peaceful conduct of this election. In a special way, I also congratulate all the 15 nominees from the Kenya Kwanza Coalition and the 12 nominees from the Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Alliance Coalition, who presented themselves for election to the EALA. I also wish to congratulate the nine successful candidates. I particularly take note of the election of Hon. Kennedy Kalonzo Musyoka, who served in the previous EALA. This is in line with a request that had been made to this Assembly in order for our country to safeguard the institutional memory of the EALA Assembly. His election, indeed, serves the purpose of ensuring that we have institutional memory as a country in our representation in EALA. Hon. Deputy Speaker, just like with any other election, which come with a lot of divisions, even this one was not any different. Members have exchanged ideas and views on who to support and who not to support across the political divide. Now that we have representatives at the EALA, I ask Members of the Parliament of Kenya to put this election behind us, and more so the divisions that may have emanated from this process. The people that we have elected, be they from Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Alliance or Kenya Kwanza Coalition now carry the Kenyan Flag to the EALA. They will not go to Arusha to represent The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
