"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion- THAT, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No. 27 (6), the thanks of the Senate be recorded for the exposition of public policy contained in the address of the President during the opening of the 13th Parliament delivered on Thursday, 29th September, 2022 be hereby recorded. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this was a very important day. Many of us were happy about it because we had been assured that we will never see such a day, but who is God in heaven? When we left this Chamber a few days to the general election, many of us had come here to transact a Motion for the House to formally adjourn Sine Die. You remember how my colleagues in the Minority Side, on that particular day were excited, exuberant and sure that they had the ‘system’. We promised them that we had the people and God. The fact that we are here today referring to this particular Speech moved on that particular day, has reminded all of us that elections are like a sign wave; you never know when it will toss you up or down. On that day, we were reminded that elections are firmly behind us. It is now time to close ranks. We have a very serious agenda before us. As the leadership of the country, Kenyans are looking up to us to solve many issues that continue to bedevil them. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, many of our colleagues, especially those who have joined Parliament for the first time will come to learn that this issue of Majority, Minority, opposition or Government only exists in our minds as leaders."
