    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, on behalf of the people of Central Imenti and the larger Meru in general who have overwhelmingly supported him with their votes over the last ten years, I want to record my appreciation to the President for an exceptionally meritorious parliamentary service. As the President enters the history books as the longest serving Member of Parliament he will go home a happy man, in the sense that he has achieved what many of us thought was not possible within our life time, that is the promulgation of the new Constitution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had the privilege of serving under the President when he was the Leader of the Official Opposition, and I remember those days hon. Orengo and hon. Murungi have talked about; we recall them for the manner in which he set the pace for bringing the Government to account. As the President goes home, we also would like to appreciate that one of the greatest contributions he has made as the President and as a politician is to add on to our political lexicon. Let me conclude by borrowing from that political lexicon by telling the President “u jienjoy i n your retirement.” Thank you."
