    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity. I would like to take this opportunity on behalf of the Government to record special thanks to the Speaker’s Office and the Speakers who have been with us during this process. We particularly want to pay special tribute to the Committees that have looked at these six Bills, including the negotiations that have taken place to give Kenyans the quality of legislation that they need. Also, I extend thanks to the stakeholders like the Commission on Implementation of the Constitution (CIC), the Kenya Law Reform Commission and all the others that we have worked with to produce these Bills. It is a record that we are setting in this Parliament. This is the last batch of constitutional Bills that we are passing before the general election. I also want to pay special tribute to the Members of this House. When we appealed to you after you nudged us to move and take action, we noted a point and asked you to stay behind so that we can do it together; you were willing to do it and you sacrificed your Wednesday, Thursday and Friday nights. I know when you go to your constituencies tomorrow, you will be feeling proud that you have done a national service. I also want to take this opportunity to thank my colleagues in the Cabinet for working together on this, and for being here to work with hon. Members in terms of getting these Bills to go through. It is collective responsibility. So, if you see two or three gathered, the rest are also there."
