    "content": "Senators from this side of the House, I wish to reiterate that this is a time when His Excellency President William Ruto, the President of the Republic of Kenya, must stand up and be counted to make Kenya what it is. We need to do those things that will define this nation as a nation that belongs to all the people of this country. To define this country as a nation that is not just made up of two communities, but a nation that reflects the face of every community in this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a time for inclusivity; a time to ensure that all those in the peripheries of this nation who feel that they have been left out of the governance structure of this nation are brought into the framework that will steer this nation going forth. It is a time that those groups either the Gen Z or other groups, however they define themselves, must be brought into governance and we are here to support the President. I have a history and I am on record as one of those MPs who have supported and stood with the Government. That is what I intend to continue doing, but with a tinker. I am happy that the leader of my party, the Rt. Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga has seen the need to work with Government, with a view to stabilizing this Government because this Government serves every citizen of this country. When my good friend, the Senator for Migori, Sen. Eddie spoke to me three days ago on the possibility of my party, the ODM, moving in the direction of Government, I told him that that is the right thing to do."
