    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker for giving me the opportunity to add my voice to this Motion, which I support. First, I congratulate His Excellency, the President for championing the candidature of Raila Amolo Odinga. This was not a matter based on any tribal or political affiliations, but a national issue that should have been supported by each Kenyan regardless of tribal affiliation. A win for Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga would have been a win for Kenya. If he lost, he lost as a Kenyan, not as a Luo, a member of the ODM Party, or an Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Alliance leader. We are very proud of him. He put the name of our country on the international map. Going back to what happened, this is the first time that I saw an election where a candidate won in the first and second rounds, but still lost. We need to change the format of determining the winner of the AUC chairmanship. I suggest that in future, we should borrow a leaf from the European Union (EU) where the chairmanship is on a rotational basis. We have to rotate the chairmanship. Otherwise, it will become a preserve of countries in the North of Africa. They collude at the last minute and vote for a candidate they want, who always comes from northern Africa."
