    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I move the Procedural Motion, I beg of you that you allow me to congratulate the hon. Member for Langata Constituency, the Prime Minister, Mr. Raila, for his appointment. Allow me to also congratulate Mr. Mudavadi who has been appointed as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government and Mr. Kenyatta for his appointment, as well, as the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also congratulate the Ministers and Assistant Ministers who have been named to this very historic Cabinet. I thought I would be remiss if I did not take this opportunity to congratulate all of them and to thank His Excellency the President and Mr. Raila for doing this country proud. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, I know that, indeed, we have those issues that you have promised to address this Thursday. I want to urge that the nation continues with the spirit that was demonstrated when we were sworn-in as the Tenth Parliament, and when we were able to do the historic thing of amending our Constitution as well as enacting the National Accord and Reconciliation Act. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the country is now at peace with itself. It is important for us to recognise that, as leaders of this historic National Assembly. I know that there are issues of governance and the need for us to remain transparent. I want to continue to urge for patience for those of us who feel a little bit unfairly dealt with. Indeed, as Mr. Raila said, there clearly has to be, at times like this, a spirit of give-and-take. Let me now move the Procedural Motion!"
