    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think I should first of all commend you, the Clerk and the staff of Parliament for the good work and the support that you have given this Parliament. Through your guidance we have made great laws that have made lives of Kenyans much better than before. You did a good job and I think we should commend you. I would also like to urge all leaders and all Kenyans that this country belongs to all of us. It is our duty to ensure that we protect this country and its citizens. I believe we should preach peace because we have that power. We have the power to destroy and we should choose the power to build and ensure that this country continues developing. I would like to appeal to the pastoralists; lands have become clean fields. We are behaving as if we live in the past. We are destroying each other. I believe it is our duty as leaders to ensure that we unite our people. That is the only time we will progress. When we come back, we should ensure that Kenyans co-exist peacefully. I would like to urge the people of Narok and especially Narok North, which is cosmopolitan, to realise that they belong to one country. They are one people. They should not be divided along ethnic lines and all those outdated affiliations. It is very important to realise that even us in Parliament we stick together. We come from different parties and ethnic groups but we have realised that we are one people. I would like to tell them that nobody will suffer. As the President has said several times, it will never happen again. We should not hurt one another and our children should not suffer. They should not be forced to live in the cold in camps. I urge them to bring me back and I know they will do that. I also urge them to maintain the peace that we have had throughout the years. Hon. Speaker, just know that if God blesses us and we come back, we expect you here. We also expect all the staff here. We shall continue from where we have left today. It is not the end. Anybody left out should know that life continues. It is not the end of the world. We can always play our role in different spheres in this country. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
