    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. I stand to thank the leadership of this House for convening this Special Sitting. I want to congratulate my colleagues Senators. I believe we have put in a genuine hard work to be able to accomplish the important business we were convened to transact; in particular, that we were able to debate and vote on the important constitutional Bills which had the deadline of 27th August, 2016. All that is behind us now, and I appreciate and thank the efforts of all the Senators. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we have also debated and adopted the Report of the Joint Select Committee on matters relating to the IEBC. We hope to put in place an institution which is credible and acceptable by all Kenyans to manage our elections. We all agree that the conduct of fair, credible and democratic elections is an important prerequisite for stability and harmony in any country in the world. We are looking for good days ahead of us. In respect to the one week extension, I believe we deserve this and I wish to take this opportunity to wish every Senator a very fruitful vacation. Thank you. 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."
