That is a good step that has been taken by this House purely because this is a season of campaign and elections. This House has a good number of Senators who want to prepare themselves for the elections. I will be contesting for the gubernatorial seat of Nakuru County. This county has 11 constituencies. I need to marshal my muscle and make sure that I get the majority of the votes in Nakuru County on a KANU ticket. It would be a step forward noting that since I left Jubilee Party I have to do a massive recruitment so that the electorate in this county can join KANU as they are proposing to. I know this is the only time we will sell our manifesto noting that KANU has partnered with our sitting President, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. For that matter, I will be going that route of selling our manifesto and campaign for the sitting President to be re- elected in the August elections. I, therefore, fully support this Motion, not forgetting that we still have other business since we have quite a number of conferences. We have one in Naivasha which is my home sub-county, whereby I welcome all the Senators. Madam Speaker, I personally also invite you to join me in Naivasha so that you can feel that fresh air. It is one of the few places where we have a fresh lake. I Support."}
