    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Let me also join my colleagues in congratulating the former Prime Minister, Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. He is a man I worked closely with. I know him as a father and a mentor. Africa missed a man who had goodwill and the strength of Pan-Africanism, and was the person who would have taken Africa to the next level. Let me also appreciate the President of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. (Dr) William Ruto. He demonstrated in the way he took the Oath. Baba was his opponent, but he endorsed him. He went across the globe, hosted several Heads of State, and showed his commitment to Kenya. Finally, I want to apologise. I want this apology to go on record. I want to apologise on behalf of the people, especially from my region, who went out to celebrate when B aba lost. I want to send this message to Kenyans: Baba’s winning or going to AUC was not as Hon. Raila Amolo Odinga, but as a Kenyan. It was unfortunate to see people, especially from my region, celebrating and saying, ‘‘Come back so that you can go into the opposition.’’ We need to understand that there is time for everything. There is a time when people compete, and a time for seriousness when people need to work. We cannot politic from morning to evening. I want to apologise to Baba . We love him. Those were few people who were misled by an individual .Baba, we love you. Come back to Kenya. We will work together. I also thank His Excellency, the President Hon. (Dr) William Ruto. He stood with Baba and he is still standing with him."
