    "content": "(Hon. (Ms.) Beatrice Kahai Adagala): Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have the honour to speak in this House for the first time. First, I thank the people of Vihiga County who turned out enmasse and elected me as their County Woman Representative. I take this opportunity to congratulate Hon. Chris Omulele for being appointed a Member of the Chairman’s Panel. This is an honour to the people of Vihiga County. I thank you on their behalf for that honour. I welcome all Members of Parliament to Vihiga, a land of plenty, including the famous omusala . I support this Motion. We have been in Nairobi since we were elected and we have to go to our respective constituencies. We have presidential elections very soon and I ask Members to run the campaigns peacefully. Whenever there is a crisis, women and children suffer. I urge Members that as we go out during the campaign period, we should maintain peace. Let us be guided by the Bible and the Quran. Hon. Members have clearly indicated that we must conduct ourselves with decorum. This is an honourable House and we must behave honourably in honour of this country and the people of Kenya. We are one nation. We should not divide ourselves along the lines of Jubilee and NASA. We are serving the people of Kenya and we must do it with dignity. We must do it well because we are called Honourable Members. Therefore, as we support the calendar that is before us, let us go out and campaign peacefully. We want to have a peaceful Kenya where all of us will enjoy. Let us not get out there to fight and abuse each other. We must handle each other as brothers and sisters. Let us take the campaign seriously such that when we elect our leader, we have somebody that will take Kenya to a higher level.
