    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to respond to this Motion. Let me start by thanking hon. Members for their contributions. I believe that based on the contributions in the last three days and what happened this afternoon, it is clear that all have agreed that His Excellency the President captured all the laws that Parliament needs to pass and the challenge is on how we, as hon. Members, put our best foot forward and deliver. I want to state here that the President was very brief in his remarks. As you all noted, we were through by around 4.00 p.m. because, as he said, he wants to concentrate on what Parliament needs to do, rather than giving us the policy of what the Government will be doing now and in the future. He set the pace for this Session to make progress. There was a lot of emphasis in the course of the debate on the need for us to work together to build a better Kenya. Just looking through without attempting to summarize the debate, it came out very clearly that hon. Members were agreeing on the desire to maintain national cohesion among our people and unity of purpose among our leaders. This has been re- emphasized, at least, every day."
