Kagwe","speaker_title":"The Senator for Nyeri County","speaker":{"id":229,"legal_name":"Mutahi Kagwe","slug":"mutahi-kagwe"},"content":" Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to echo the congratulations, not just for the Senators in this House but also for the staff because it is a new House and everybody here is new. Therefore, I believe that congratulations are in order for everybody. In supporting the Motion which is the Address of the President, I want to say that I not only heard what the President was saying but also saw the way he was speaking. More often than not, in communication, non-verbal cues, perhaps, tell a bigger story than the verbal cues. As I watched the President speak, I saw passion, determination in his face and the resolve that he had. I saw a President who was also asking us whether we, as a House, would be with him as he walks this successful journey. Those non-verbal cues, to me, told a bigger story than what the President said. The mantle has been given to us The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."}
