    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the first time, today, because of its very nature, we have the Member for Othaya, President Kibaki, sitting here as the Member for Othaya. That underscores the significance of today. We are discussing a matter of great national importance. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the people of Kenya for their resilience, fortitude and dedication to the nation of Kenya. Secondly, I want to thank friends of our country, who came to our assistance at our time of need. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we were quarrelling among ourselves, and it was very difficult for us to have sat together and talked. In that situation, friends of Kenya came in very handy and facilitated dialogue among us. I would specifically like to thank the African Union (AU), the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU), the United States of America (USA), and all those countries which expressed concern and showed their willingness to support us at our hour of need. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when Dr. Kofi Annan decided to suspend negotiations, there was gloom all over the country. Kenyans were in a state of despair. They did not know what was going to happen next. I want to thank the four from both sides, that is the team of eight, who participated in those negotiations. I think they deserve commendation by this House."
