    "content": "Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I will share my minutes with my colleague, Mr. Ndegwa Njiru. My questions are limited to the issue of the shareholder agreements. I will be quick. The questions were asked by my learned senior, colleague and friend, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Odhiambo Ojienda, Sen. Mumma and Sen. Okiya Omtatah. I will begin with the questions by my learned Senior, Sen. (Prof.) Tom Odhiambo Ojienda. I will begin with the second question he asked. He asked, is the relationship between the President and the Deputy President irretrievably broken? That is not a legal question, but in my experience as a Kenyan, there is no such thing as an irretrievably broken political relationship. Members of the Jubilee Party, which I served as an advocate for, woke up in March 2018 to find their leader shaking hands with his opponent at Harambee House and they subsequently found a way to work. A few months ago, the President and the Hon. former Prime Minister have found a way to work. There is no such thing as an irretrievable political relationship. Secondly, leadership constitutionally is not so much about how you feel. It is about your duty and your responsibility constitutionally. Your feelings must take a back seat to your duty to the people of Kenya. I was asked about the counties. When you look at these shareholder agreements, and again, if Members will go with me to page 418, where you find the shareholder agreement between ANC, Ford Kenya and UNDA."
