    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have two minutes. So, I have to just go straight to the point. May the record reflect that this afternoon, Hon. ole Sankok and I were the first in the Chamber. I am not quite sure how these gadgets work, but I will accept that. I only have three quick things. One is that no war is a tunnel except the good battle between good and evil. There is a time in the life of a nation such as now that you can cease hostilities. Ceasing hostilities is not abandoning agitation that is legitimate. It is stepping back to meaningfully look at each other in the eye and see if we can solve our problems together or perish together. That is the moment where we are. In that respect, this is the beginning of a journey. It is not an event that has happened as some of the Members were saying. This is a journey that is going to be treacherous and difficult and we are going to address all the issues that were listed by the Leader of the Minority Party and by many of us. We will also address many others that were not listed. At the end of the day, if we can walk this journey, a journey that we tried and failed in 1997, 2007 and 2010, then we will emerge much stronger. Lastly, at the end of the day, it must be recognised that the President, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, and His Excellency Raila Amolo Odinga, are doing this not for themselves, but for us. Therefore, as we do this, we must issue a collective caution that if anybody thinks we can walk this journey with dishonesty, in bad faith and without meaning, then we will have exposed the millions who are followers and not the two, and we will all suffer the collective wrath of the millions of Kenyans. With that, I support. Thank you very much."
