    "content": "Your Excellency, the President of the Republic of Kenya and the Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, Mr. Mwai Kibaki, the Speaker of the National Assembly, the Deputy Prime Minister, Mr. Kenyatta, the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, your excellencies, ambassadors and high commissioners, distinguished Members of Parliament, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, mine is fairly simple; just to pass a vote of thanks. On behalf of the Parliamentary Service Commission, allow me to thank you, Your Excellency, for gracing today’s occasion in inaugurating our refurbished debating chamber. The Commission and the entire Tenth Parliament appreciates most sincerely your Government’s effort in refurbishing as well as other projects that have been implemented as captured in the Commission’s 2008 to 2018 Strategic Plan. I remember with nostalgia in 1999, when you were the Leader of the Official Opposition, Hon. Oloo Aringo decided to initiate a Private Member’s Bill and you know then things were very difficult, and you eloquently and fervently contributed and used your position as the Official Leader of Opposition to support.; Today what we are seeing is the fruit of that bold initiative at a time when, politically, things were not very good."
