    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, I thank you for allowing me to support the Motion. It is important that we continue with the business of the Senate next week as we wait to change the calendar of events. We should, as Senators, Members of the National Assembly and Kenyans recognise the Presidential Address. It is a rare occasion. It comes once in a year. Therefore, we enjoy the 364 days; it is only one and a quarter day that we commit to the Presidential Address. We will be selfish not to give him even more than one day. So, when there is a day that he wishes to speak to us, let him come. He is at liberty to do so. He can even come here and sit at the Speaker’s Gallery and follow our proceedings. He should even come at a time like now and see how many Senators are here so that as he discusses about the role of the Senate, he should be aware of what happens in this House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as we welcome the Presidential Address, it is also important to send our condolences as a Senate to Belgium. What happened there has happened to us. Since most of the European countries have sent their condolences and sympathies to us, it would be prudent to send our condolences to Belgium and its embassy. They were caught unawares. Belgium has been a neutral county all through; they have never had any attack. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
