    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. As I support the formation of this Committee, I thank His Excellency the President, the former Prime Minister, and leaders of both sides of the House. We have to speak to each other and put Kenya first because Kenya is bigger than every one of us. As the immediate former Co-Chairperson of the Bipartisan Committee, my message to you is to speak in good faith and not engage in blackmail, threats, or coercion because that is what possibly brought the bipartisan talks to a close. I thank the former Bipartisan Committee members because they also did an excellent job for the country. It is because of them that we are where we are. They sacrificed a lot under the circumstances at that particular time. As you go out, I beseech you to remain worthy of the first matter on the agenda. The country is waiting with bated breath because there is a lot of work to be done by the IEBC. The President has said that he wants it entrenched in law. Therefore, if we are to review any boundaries and other pending matters, the IEBC must be given priority. With those remarks, I support the Motion."
