    "content": "Thank you Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to contribute to the President’s Speech. First, I want to commend and congratulate the President for addressing the nation on a specified day which he chose himself. I consider this to be an important day because it is a day that we all focus on the issues that affect our society. That is why this for me, is an important day. I listened to the State of the Nation Address as one of the Members of Parliament representing the County of Bomet on what Government has done. I was pleased to hear the President address the issue of security in this country. Our security is important. The people of this country have sacrificed a lot and it was a great pleasure. I salute the President for asking us - both in the House and those who were outside - to stand for one minute in silence in remembrance of those Kenyans who have sacrificed to make this a more secure nation to live in. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I had a great opportunity as well to stand in respect of the eight residents of Bomet County who sacrificed their lives in the course of the mission that the Kenyans are fighting in Somalia. I also had the opportunity to stand in respect of the victims who passed on. Unfortunately, it was sad to note that some of the Members of the august House did not see this as an important occasion to respect those who have sacrificed their lives to save this country. The State of the Nation Address also focused on international issues that affect this country. We know that there are several international issues that affect this country, 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"
