    "content": "I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion of Adjournment. From the outset, I support the Motion. I urge my colleagues to reach out in this period of adjournment to all stakeholders and Kenyans and impress on them the importance of peace and stability at this juncture of our history. All is not lost. However, as one of my colleagues said, if the country continues operating this way, we are faced with economic suicide. Some economic pundits have estimated that since the Supreme Court Ruling, as a country, we have lost Kshs21 billion through lack of foreign and local investments because of a wait and see attitude from investors.

One of my pleas is that each one of us takes this opportunity to reflect in this time of adjournment, reach out to all and sundry and make sure that we all know that we should put our country first before self. Secondly, Mr.Speaker, Sir, I thank the people and the new leadership of Baringo, Samburu, Laikipia, Isiolo and West Pokot counties who came to Laikipia for the peace meeting. We have all decided that we will chart a new path of bringing peace to our people in the respective counties. I believe that all of us here take this opportunity to offer our condolences to the Governor Nderitu of Laikipia County who, during the course of the peace meeting, lost his mother. We all say pole to him. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to congratulate Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki. I said earlier that I would wait until this particular moment to tell him: Pongezi, ameteremka kutoka Majority Leader mpaka Deputy Speaker---"
