    "content": "Let me air my views. You came up and made your ruling which is very important for this nation. We will praise you here in the House. I must assure you that the whole country will be on your side and will respect the decision that you have taken. Also the country will see that they still have some elders who come at the right time to make decisions which are going to cool down the tempers of our people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have a responsibility and even the other Speaker has a responsibility to make sure that these two Houses work in harmony. If we dare try to use our muscles either through numbers of majority or experience we will not go anywhere. We trust that with your knowledge and experience you will be able to drive this country to the right place. Let us all agree that in this country we have many enemies who will never want this country to be what we want to see. The Press and many other hidden quiet enemies are ready to complicate any issue. Like this one, you just got it before it went out of our hands. I think through this ruling you have stabilized our people. Hon. Senators and other Kenyans will see that there was need for you and the other Speaker to agree on making a ruling of this kind. I do not think I need to say a lot, but I want to say that having been a Member of Parliament for quite some time and also having been in Kenyan politics for a long time, we must be careful of those who are out to make sure that we shall never have peace in this country. We have worked against them all the time. Therefore, I beg to support you. I wish you luck so that you can make good decisions like the one you have just made. God bless you."
