    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me a chance to contribute to this important Motion. I can now see that my student has picked from me. He is a patriot. I was out of the country when our two leaders met. When I saw the news on the Cable News Network (CNN), I went back to the bar and took a whole bottle of wine to celebrate the fact that our two leaders have, at last, put the interests of the country ahead of their own personal interests. For a second time, Hon. Raila Odinga has demonstrated to this country that when he fights, he does not do so for self-interests. He fights for the national interests although, sometimes, he is misguided. That is why he takes some wrong routes but, now, he has discovered the correct route to serve Kenyans. Coming from Nyanza, I am a very happy man. Now Nyanza as a bloc will support William Samoei Ruto come 2022. Hon. Mbadi will be very close to our leader to prepare his chance at having a shot as the Deputy President. Mbadi, listen to me. You are my student. If you play ball, for the interests of Kenyans, you can reach there. Those who have been fighting to take over from Raila will be messed up because they cannot beat you. When we vote as Nyanza as a bloc for William Ruto in 2022, we may try to convince him to take you as his deputy. We will try to do that. Play ball with us. For those other members of NASA who are blaming the Right Hon. Raila for having talked to the President and then when you come back here you tell us you have been seeking dialogue, must dialogue involve all the four principals? Can dialogue not be started by two people? I thought you would be applauding it and asking what part you can play in creating a peaceful and prosperous country. This Parliament will make history. We will be able to implement the ideas and ideals that have been pronounced by our two leaders. Those ideals are for the prosperity and unity of this country so that, when I am appointed to a position, you do not have to say that I am a Kisii. When Mbadi is appointed to a position, we do not say he is a Suba, although, most of you do not know that he is a Suba. This is so that we work as a country. He is a Bantu! I urge my friends who are the three other NASA principals that Raila has gotten tired of carrying you on his back. Please, give him a chance. Give him relief. He is tired. Go along with him and support him. When you see him almost sliding, assist him not to fall down in the ideals that he has now pronounced himself on. Support him. Chris, please support him because if Raila did not want you to be the Deputy Whip of the Minority Party, you would not be. You know how many your numbers are in this House. Support him. Those who may speak to Mzee Raila, tell him I congratulate him and I am very happy with his decisions."
