    "content": "My apologies to the Chair, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I almost cried. However, where I come from, crying as a man is a taboo. I got carried away because of what we have experienced, from the intimidation and the de-whipping of some of us who were in House leadership in the last Senate to being arrested and blackmailed. There are many people who lost their property. There are many people who were subjected to fabricated cases including our former colleagues like Sen. Mithika Linturi who is the CS nominee for Agriculture. I remember Sen. Haji - may his soul rest in eternal peace - who was then the chairperson of National Security Committee; where we called the Police Inspector- General and the head of Security agencies to appear before the Senate because of intimidation and blackmail. I am happy and I want to thank the great people of Kenya for electing the son of nobody, a peasant, a chicken seller to the highest office. It is inspirational to the guests who are in the Public Gallery that you do not need to be a son of a chief or a daughter of a Senator to rise to the highest office in the land. I hope it will inspire these young people across the country. There are two issues that I want to mention and the President has confirmed this. He will not rule with an iron fist of intimidating, promoting Kamata Fridays or creating fabrications, like the former Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) who was more of an actor and creator of some funny movies that are only famous on Netflix and other channels."
