    "content": "While you were away for a short break, a few ugly scenarios of exchanges happened, that had to involve leaders such us to come in. We are extremely mature and responsible leaders. Unfortunately, we are all politicians and political interest comes to play from time to time. It is extremely respectful when mature and responsible people stand up and extend apologies for whatever happened. As a leader, I feel touched. I join the Senate Majority and Minority Leaders, together with all the other leaders in this House who have spoken on this Floor. I request you to find it within your heart to forgive and also facilitate an opportunity for us to get the House back. I must add that I was here yesterday speaking on the Floor of the House. We came here as Senators to represent and add value for our counties. We had an opportunity, yesterday, to release Kshs17.3 billion to our 47 counties, which we lost because we did not have quorum. Today, I came here hoping and praying. I do not normally comment on the social media of the Senate. However, yesterday, I had to write a pleading statement, to remind our Senators, that it is extremely important that despite the controversy, we find it within our heart to execute what is within our responsibility. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I end by pleading with you, to find it within your heart to forgive and also accept the request put forward by our leaders. Thank you."
