    "content": "Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, when we do that, we send the wrong message to our nation – that we are divided – when we should be sending the proper message, that we are united. If you can be united in Cabinet sittings, I do not see any reason as to why you cannot be united, as Cabinet, when we go out there. It must be deliberate and purposeful. This is a job that the President and the Prime Minister must ensure is done. After the successful visit of the President in Nyanza Province, in the company of the Prime Minister, we would like the two principals to go to Central Province together, and not separately.

Every time I wonder how it will be. “If you think I am a Drum Major, let me be a Drum Major for peace. Let me be a Drum Major for the sisal workers of this country.” Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, this message translates not just in the way we do things, but rather in the way in which we act to ensure that that ordinary Kenyan – the Mr. Ondiri that Mr. Wamalwa told us about – and that woman who has nothing to eat at a time when we are suffering, have something to eat. Peace translates into action. I want to thank hon. Members for their enthusiasm and tell them that charity begins at home. Now that I believe that we are going to approve this Motion unanimously, I want to borrow from the Census Moto and ask each Member of"
