    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I take this early opportunity to congratulate you for being appointed to that position. I also want to join those who have already welcomed the delegation from Meru County and say; welcome; you will learn a lot from this particular Senate session. I want to support the Senate calendar for this particular session based on the following grounds. First, it will be high time for all of us to go and put our heads together with the county assemblies and see their agenda for development and see how we can move on together.This is important because some of them have been calling us, requesting to find out if we can meet them so that we can put our heads together. This will be an opportunity for us to do that. Second, Madam Temporary Speaker, we are in campaign mode for the repeat presidential election and people outside there also want to see our position; they want to hear our voices concerning the particular people we want to support. My people have been calling me, asking whether I am still supporting our President. In fact, it will be my happiest moment to call and tell them that they will hear my voice as soon we adjourn this House. Some of us are still new and we are still trying to settle down in Nairobi. This will be a good opportunity to enable us to settle in well, especially for the new Members. This will also be the best time for us to go to the counties to inform the electorate about the funds we disbursed two weeks ago. It will be of great pride for us to go and tell them that we have already started working. Lastly, for our friends who are participating in demonstrations – which I do not like much myself – this will be a good time for us to go and guide those particular people on how to conduct peaceful demonstrations. We are aware that there are commanders who are commanding from a distance. Therefore, this will be the best time for them to participate practically so that they protect those particular supporters from messing up some places. So, MadamTemporary Speaker, I beg to support this Motion. Thank you very much."
