    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to the Motion for Adjournment. I want to thank you personally for steering the Tenth Parliament to greater heights. This Parliament has lived to the expectations of Kenyans. It has served the people of Kenya well. The rulings you have given from that Chair are landmark ruling which other Speakers will be using as history in this country. As I end my 15th year term in this House, I want to thank the people of Eldama Ravine for electing me for ten years, and my party for giving me the opportunity to serve the current five years. As we go to elections, I would urge all the hon. Members in this House that we go for peaceful elections. Let us not polarise this country. This country is more than this election. We need this country. We need our generations who will come to see what we did as people of Kenya and leaders of Kenya at this time. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am lucky to have been in the process of Constitution-making from the time there was agitation for constitution-making in this country from 1997. I was also involved in the Bomas conference which produced the first draft of the Constitution, but which was rejected, and finally in 2010 when we got a new Constitution."
