    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, we welcome him to Jubilee Party and he can cross the Floor as early as Tuesday next week. I will create some seat for him somewhere here and his debating skills can be transferred to this side. My advice to the Senate Minority Leader is that as much as I sympathize with his situation, there is no need to force yourself on people who do not love you. Even if you force yourself to sit in the office, who will you lead if 16 people out of 28 have said they do not want you? It is better you become a member of the flock of a side that will recognize you where you will play a role. We have enough team on this side with 11 players and many reservists. Sen. Chergargei is slightly injured at the moment, and Sen. Wetangula can come in to play some role for the time being. I believe there is a misinterpretation of what happened between the former Prime Minister and the President. That misinterpretation is getting itself into the debate of this House. Let me make it abundantly clear; we welcome the relationship of the former Prime Minister and the President. However, as we welcome it, we in Jubilee Party are not interested in creating other fault lines and fights in this country. We welcome that relationship but we also welcome the relationship of Sen. Wetangula, hon. Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka and hon. Musalia Mudavadi. I hope, like the former Vice President said, that they will be meeting the President next week. I believe that will happen. If that happens, we, as the Republic of Kenya, would have an opportunity to sit down together on one table. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish our brothers in ODM well as they think through their leadership in NASA team and as they push it through. Similarly, if ODM wish to come to this side, I will only be happier to be leading a bigger troupe. It is not that I will in any way be concerned about what might happen. If any game is going to be played where Sen. Murkomen will be replaced as a player so that Deputy President William Ruto can score a goal, I am ready for that game. Any day, if that game will lead to a situation The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
