    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. Indeed, these are very interesting times. No one would have expected what we are witnessing in our country to happen so fast, yet so importantly. We totally support this process. Secondly, I think we should honour both leaders; the President of our country and the Rt. Hon. Raila Odinga. They should be respected for the decision that they took and particularly, the Rt. Hon. Odinga. This is because when you have lost an election – whether you think you lost fairly or unfairly – it is not very easy to come to terms with that and still be at the negotiation table for the sake of the nation. For your information, I support one Sen. Orengo. Our senior said that Hon. Raila Odinga is not just your ordinary politician. He stood for presidential elections in 1997. In 2002, he supported somebody else in a very critical way. He stood in 2007, 2013 and 2017. This is not somebody we cannot hold a candle up for. So, I take this opportunity to applaud the two leaders. Thirdly, it is a great thing for the country to come together. In Psalms 133, the Bible says: “How wonderful, how precious it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” 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."
