    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will also be very brief. I want to congratulate you for such a wonderful ruling. I think that the nation has been asking: “Where is Solomon of 2013?” I think that today the Speaker of the Upper House has demonstrated Solomonic wisdom, keeping into the law. That was a well researched ruling that delved into the jurisprudence of our Constitution. I think that you have upheld the spirit of constitutionalism. I commend you for that. Mr. Speaker, Sir, like Sen. Anyang’-Nyong’o had said, I think that this House should buy space and publish this ruling in its entirety because it is important for the nation to understand the role and functions of this House when it comes to matters such as this. Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly, I would request you to also give us Senators a soft copy of that ruling, so that I can put it on my Facebook page and circulate it using Twitter, because it is important that this ruling is, not only read here, but all over the world. Many of my followers live in various countries in Africa, Europe and the United States. It is important that they continue reading and circulating this ruling, so that others can learn from it. I think that this is the best decision. In future, like Sen. Anyang’- Nyong’o has said, we should continue answering from the perspective of our job, rather than spending more time on sideshows in the media and any other place. We must just answer them by doing our job. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
