    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I would like to congratulate His Excellency the President for delivering this very important Speech. When I heard that the President had requested the Speaker of the National Assembly and Speaker of the Senate to allow him to address a joint sitting of Parliament, I knew that it was a very serious issue, because it is a constitutional provision. I also knew that we were about to make history, in the sense that we were operationalizing certain provisions of our Constitution; that basically when we passed that Constitution, it was never imagined. For example, it was never imagined by many people that within the first two years of the first President under our new Constitution, we would have the person elected as the President relinquish his office and allow another person to be in office. As from 5.00 p.m. when the President relinquished his presidency and left the Deputy President to hold office, he was in town. It happened in Harambee House and I 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."
