    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to take one minute to congratulate the Namibian team on the successful election they held this November. They have their first woman president, something that we, in Kenya, are still struggling with. You also know that there were elections in the USA. I had occasion to visit the Democratic National Convention in Chicago. I want also to take this opportunity to welcome the team from the USA. Lastly, because I attended elections as an observer in Somaliland, I want to speak to the statement by the Senator for Meru to let him know that, in fact, when I was there, we were encouraged as a country to expand our trade ties with the country called Somaliland. As I speak, they are importing all their miraa from Ethiopia. I got an opportunity to test it. I can say without blinking that our product is far superior. So, I will encourage because I am aware that the Somaliland Mission in Kenya has written to the respective Speakers, inviting Members of this House and the National Assembly for the inauguration of the new President. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like that list to include the Senator for Meru. Even if I have to go, I will give up my seat, because this trade diplomacy will be best pushed by the Deputy Speaker of the House, who is also a member of the Njuri Ncheke . I thank you."
