    "content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, you were sitting here when you heard the distinguished Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet speak, even cynically saying we were all smiling. Did he expect us to meet the President crying? What did he want us to do? He said that he saw us smiling broadly. It is not that he is complementing us. You know what cynicism means in life. He is being cheaply cynical about a very serious matter, because people have lost lives. People are still angry in this country and we are trying to reduce this anger and tension. My distinguished brother, Sen. Murungi was there, and has spoken very well. He did not pour vitriol on our meeting, neither was he cynical nor made it appear as if we were privileged or angling. He spoke very soberly and I appreciate what he said, because we have walked this path before in 1996-1997. We sat on the Inter-party Parliamentary Group (IPPG) when the country was on the brink of a precipice. Instead of somebody standing here and saying, we saw our leaders meet and that is the direction to go, you start telling us about Usain Bolt and whatever. These are things that are totally irritating and unhealthy. Let me go to the Bill."
