    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, part of the roles and works of leadership is to bring people together. Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, I and other leaders from Elgeyo-Marakwet, West Pokot and Baringo are working hard to ensure that the border fights in the Kerio Valley triangle between the three counties stop. That is part and parcel of leadership. There are two things we need to do. We either decide that we want to lead and live by morals of leadership or use short cuts and get votes. Where we just want votes, we will lie to the people; tell them things that we want them to hear. We will ask them to clap for us. Sometimes we must tell people the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth despite how painful that pill will be to swallow. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senators who have contributed to this Motion. I believe that the next one week will be used in a positive way to advance the interest of our people to continue dealing with these issues. Hon. Senators, there are many pending many Bills that are supposed to go to division. We should pull up our socks next week, sit down and vote on those Bills for them to become law. Let me say this without fear of contradiction, there might be no other Parliament since 1963 that has a House other than this Senate that has many Private Members Bills. Many private Members have come up with Bills in this House. When auditing is done in future, it will become apparently clear that despite the bottlenecks that we are facing in terms of working with our sister House, this House has tried its best to ensure that we have Bills that are beneficial to the people of Kenya. With those many remarks, I beg to reply."
