    "content": "Yes, I voted for hon. Marende because that was our candidate as the CORD Coalition. I am a very faithful member of the CORD Coalition. Therefore, that is the only thing that actually stopped me from voting for you because we have been friends for some time. But you are now my Speaker and you are sitting on that Chair as the Speaker of the National Assembly of Kenya. I am very happy because you have always protected the integrity and the independence of this House. I want you to continue that way because that is what we voted for you to do. Hon. Speaker, very finally, I am not very old, but I am fairly old because I am no longer a youth. The beauty is that I have read. There is a period in this country - and I was very young then - during the Fourth, the Fifth and the Sixth Parliaments that this country would want to forget because they were like the appendages of the Executive. My only plea to the Chair and the Committee which we have given the responsibility to go and look into this matter is that they should make sure that we are not taken back to the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Parliaments."
