    "content": "as a country and people who abide by the rule of law, we have accepted the outcome. As the Jubilee Party, we are ready to go for a repeat of the election peacefully. In the Presidential Speech, we were told that there is no vacuum in this country. No matter how much our brothers and sisters on the other side go round saying that we have a caretaker President, that is not applicable in this country. The President is active in the office. The same applies to the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary. It is business as usual and we should continue working. In as much as we are waiting for the elections on the 17th of October, it does mean that we should hold this country at ransom. I would urge my colleagues who are absent that they were elected by voters who expect service delivery from them. They need to come back to this House and deliver services to the people of Kenya, in as much as they want to prepare for a repeat of the elections scheduled for 17th October. In the President’s Speech, he actually reiterated separation of powers and a harmonious working relationship with all other arms of the Government. That is our position as the Jubilee Government. We should respect each other and work together as a country. Peace is also paramount, as the President said in his Speech. Without peace and sobriety, we cannot work as a country and forge development in our country. As the President mentioned in his Speech, devolution has worked in this country. Even if we did not do much in the last Parliament, we learnt a lot from the last four and a half years of devolution. We need to build on what we did in the last Parliament. Given that you served as a governor during the last Parliament and now you are the Speaker of the Senate, you know both sides of the coin."
