For the record, allow me to reiterate my appreciation of the leadership of both sides of the House. It has been great to serve my Party as the Leader of Majority. I am grateful to His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Deputy President, William Ruto and the Senators from the Jubilee side, without whose support I would not have been a Majority Leader. I am indebted to my party and will forever appreciate the privilege they accorded me. Equally, I want to appreciate the Minority leadership and colleagues in the Minority side. As I said, of course, we had our differences which are normal because politics is competitive and about differences in ideologies. However, in some instances"
