    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Hon. Wanjiku Muhia took our party to court more than 10 times. She took our party through the political parties’ tribunal, to the High Court and to the Supreme Court. I want to thank Members of this House for electing Wanjiku Muhia. Lastly but not the least, the famous Jematiah is a well-known apart from the son of our leader Kalonzo Musyoka, the rest were Members of Parliament. They had access to this House and to our offices. But Junior Musyoka and Jematiah were foreigners. They had to get permission at the gate. Well done, Jematiah and the people of Baringo. Oh, Hon. Nooru. He is the oldest politician. All his contemporaries in north eastern have retired. His contemporaries are the likes of my former Member of Parliament and long-term serving Minister Hussein Maalim and many others. Nooru is the only one who has been elected more than five times. Right now we want him to go and represent us in EALA. We have taken for the first time a team of Members of Parliament who will easily learn the Standing Orders and represent us. From tonight, you are not a member of Jubilee or NASA. You are representing the country called Kenya. Your voters are these two Chambers. So we will look for a recall clause. If you do not represent Kenya very well, we will recall you. We can even have a by-election. Who said we cannot have a by-election? Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are happy because we are going on recess. Let us go back to our people. I wish all of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. As we go back to our constituencies, let us all move Kenya forward. The President said in no uncertain terms that he is ready for dialogue, but only on development. If you want dialogue on politics, you look for the Leader of the Majority Party, us. However, for His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, definition of dialogue is those who want to build roads, healthcare and unite Kenyans. That is the Kenya we are talking about. We have a vibrant Opposition and Government. Let us all work together. I want to thank the people of Kenya for giving Jubilee over 200 Members of Parliament. I am a proud Leader of the Majority Party because the numbers have increased and they will be used for the benefit of the people of Kenya. I want to thank all of you for staying long. I am sure we were doing a serious constitutional and legislative mandate. Thank you all who came here. Let us drive back home safely. Next week we will elect our chairs and vice-chairs and I am sure come January, Inshallah, we will start serious business of committee work. I beg to move that the House adjourns until Tuesday 13th February 2018 at 2.30 p.m. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
