    "content": "I would like to sincerely thank my two friends, Sen. George Khaniri from Vihiga and Sen. Okong’o from Nyamira for the distinguished service they have given to the Committee, in a committed and dedicated manner. They have always been punctilious about details and punctual in attending Committee meetings. What Sen. Khaniri has done today reminds me of a song that we used to sing in High School from redemption songs. There was usually a song that went as follows: “Once to every man and nation comes a moment to decide, then it is the brave man chooses while the cowards stand aside.” Sen. Khaniri has stood up as a brave man and accepted decisions in this House, which obviously were not in his interest. A coward would have stood aside and grumbled, but knowing Sen. Khaniri and his principled stand on many things, he accepted that decision graciously. I am sure that he will serve in another Committee of this House in an equally responsible manner. Whilst saluting Sen. Khaniri, I would to also thank Sen. Okong’o of Nyamira for using his legal background ably in the Committee to guide whenever needed. So, their service is recognized by the Committee and the House. I hope that they will move to other Committees where they will serve equally in a distinguished manner. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Motion."
