    "content": "Neymar and the Suarez within “FC CORD” then, we, members of CORD, even members of Jubilee and the nation as a whole will judge him well and give him that opportunity. Therefore, the meeting on 2nd April, 2016 is open to all. I will be there extolling the virtues of the key strikers that we have in the CORD Coalition. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the issue of adjournment, as Senators, we have a lot of business to do. We will be focusing on coming up with rules and work-plans for the monitoring and evaluation fund. Even though it had been raised earlier, we have seen that even our employees are expected to be trained during this short recess. We hope that by the time we come back to the Senate, the funds that have been earmarked to facilitate our monitoring and evaluation shall be ready. There are those of us who have not settled down in their offices. When we went back to the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC), we were kicked out. About 20 Senators have been affected. We will use this recess to settle down and find adequate offices that befit the status of a Senator of the Republic of Kenya. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we will get feedback from the Parliamentary Service Commission on some of the issues that Senators had raised to ensure their comfort in their new domain. Finally, with regard to the State of The Nation Address expected tomorrow, the President is expected to deliver it as the Head of State. He is a symbol of national unity and he unifies all of us. As a Head of State, we owe him respect and we also owe the electorate an opportunity to be heard through the representatives so that we can objectively analyse and take back the message to the people. However, the role of the Head of State sometimes has a thin line between the Head of State and Head of Government. I hope the President while talking about the state of the nation will not address the state of the Jubilee Coalition but about the state of the nation and the project called Kenya. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you look at the debate that was there on Saturday, when one economist David Ndii mentioned that Project Kenya is dead, and that we should seek a divorce so that the different communities and tribes can go their way--- There are those people who feel that the union is extremely bad and that we should divorce. There are those who believe that it is good, while some of us feel it is bad though it can be salvaged. I hope that when we listen to the Address tomorrow - personally I will be respectful because the President is the Head of State - it will be confined to the national values as enshrined in Article 10 of the Constitution. I pray that it will not be another public relations exercise to sanitise or to launder the fortunes of a political movement which seems to be destined for failure in the 2017 elections. With those many remarks, I second the Motion."
