    "content": "mediation period. I am sure that a certain aspect of the law can be amended so that this can be done fluently and efficiently, so that we do not have to go through this kind of thing. I must speak on this because I think this is one of the things that is the cornerstone of whatever else Kenya is going to be. Whatever else Kenya is going to be in the future depends on whether we coexist in a peaceful State regardless of our circumstances. Whether this country becomes a first-world country or continues to remain a developing country, peace is very paramount. I want to thank the youths of this country. There are certain indications of the youth in this country that are showing that at least there is a future in this country. The many inter-tribal marriages that are happening within our youth in this country might be a sign of things to come in the future; that people can develop lasting friendship across their tribal cocoons where they come from. We do hope that this will grow, expand and make Kenyans work together. I know that some Senators would wish to be governors, others Members of the National Assembly and some would want to come back to this House. I want to wish each and every one of the Senators, who aspire to serve this country in any other capacity, the very best as they continue to do so. Coming from the medical profession, I think it is time that I continue to serve this country well in the very field that I know how to do best and where I am needed most. I am sure in my profession, where the health of the country is paramount, it is important for some of us to go and serve the country in other capacities. I am so thankful because I have had the opportunity to grow in many ways in the last four and a half years that I have been in the House. I have intermingled with both ‘big’ and ‘small’ citizens of the country. I value the experience that I have had here. I must also thank this Senate for lasting this long. The last Senate that we had in this country lasted for two years; this one has lasted for four and a half years. I do hope that it is going to last for even much longer and play its intended role in this country. For those who have taken responsibilities, especially, in the new devolved system of government, more particularly, the Chief Executive Officers (CEO) of the county governments, the greatest failure of the devolved government system is how we will us the resources that we devolve to the county governments in to the hands of the CEOs. This is one of the things that we would wish to change and get to a situation where governors will volunteer to come here and tell us the successes they have had in the counties and not defend themselves and the enormous theft that has been going on in the counties. This will ensure that this country and the youths of this country will have an opportunity to grow and enjoy their country in the years to come. With those remarks, I beg to support. I wish this country the best. God bless Kenya."
