    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to start by thanking the Senate for standing up and being there for Kenyans who lost their lives and are lying in the morgues, the injured who are still in hospitals and for the Kenyans who are hurting, including a number of us. I want to be honest with this House that from Tuesday, I attempted twice or thrice to drive to Parliament and drove away. This is specifically because I wondered if I was going to come to Parliament with the blood of young Kenyans who had lost their lives right in Parliament. On that note, as I am here, I am thinking that these young men that specifically died in Parliament should be buried like MPs. Probably, their bodies should even be kept at Lee Funeral Home just like parliamentarians when they die. I want to pass my condolence to Kenyans who have lost their family members and wish the rest that are injured a quick recovery. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on that note, I also thank the Gen Zs for their courage. These young people shouted to whoever would listen. They cried and sang to us, but we did not listen to their cries. We assumed that this is a generation that we would physically meet somewhere. We assumed that they were the traditional opposition-like demonstrators that you can find meeting somewhere to plan for their activities. This is a generation that needs a change of tact, just as many speakers have demonstrated here. From the onset, I thank a few of the professionals that were involved rightfully in these demonstrations for the help that they gave. I thank the medics who stood out and The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
