    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me start by thanking the Mover of this Motion, the leadership of this House from both divides, including Sen. Wambua. You came up with this idea of addressing the affairs of this nation after having a few instances in the last two weeks or so. Before I give my speech, I dedicate my soul and spirit to the young ones who lost their lives, their parents, their relatives and their entire family. It is on record that this country lost lives in the last few days out of the protests that were brought by our sons and daughters. I also want to convey my gratitude and regards from Tharaka-Nithi to the Senate Majority Leader of this House, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, Sen. Sifuna and to you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have received several messages and calls from the people of Tharaka-Nithi congratulating each one of you for finding it very necessary to ensure that we have the State of the Nation Address. As such, the Senate is now a celeb in this country. We have been celebrated across the board and people are saying this is the Senate that we voted for as per the Constitution. We have redeemed ourselves and restored our sanity as a House. I belong to Kenya Kwanza Government having been elected as the Senator for Tharaka-Nithi by majority votes in the last election. I am happy that this House has disregarded party affiliations and decided to confront issues regardless of whether you come from Kenya Kwanza or Azimio La Umoja Coalition. That is patriotism. Just as several Senators have said, we do not have any other country other than Kenya."
