    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I beg to move the following Motion - THAT pursuant to Standing Order No.37, the Senate do now adjourn to discuss a definite matter of urgent national importance, namely: the systematic breach of peace, destruction of public and private property and livelihoods through repeated incitement of members of the Republic to civil disobedience and illegal public demonstrations and protest that climaxed with the sense of lawlessness witnessed in several parts of the country on 7th and 12th July, 2023. General elections are held every five years in Kenya. Any election must have winners and losers. For around 30 years, we have been doing elections and after the winners are announced, the losers always bring division, chaos and fighting. In the elections of 2007 and 2012, President Mwai Kibaki and President Uhuru Kenyatta won the elections respectively and the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga was second. However, after the elections, he brought a lot of chaos. Before the country found peace, there were a lot of problems. In 2017, President Uhuru Kenyatta was elected and the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga came second. After the elections, he brought a lot of confusion and chaos after the Supreme Court’s verdict. They held discussions and later came together. In the 2022 general elections, H.E William Samoei Ruto was elected. President Ruto was announced the winner and in the second position was Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga. It is now about a year down the line and there is a lot of confusion. After losing, the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga, went to the court of law and he was announced the loser. After that, we are experiencing a lot of division between the two parties. After a general election in Kenya, we experience a lot of confusion characterized by breaking into houses, fighting and even burning of cars. On 7th and the 12th of this month, there was a lot of confusion. Many people were injured and taken to hospital."
