    "content": ") Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion and to thank Sen. Orengo for moving it because this is a very important moment in our nation. I also congratulate His Excellency the President and the Rt. Hon. former Prime Minister for coming together. We have learnt our lessons in the last few days and we now know that divided we fall. I say that because that division even came into this House and we fell flat down. I was very impressed to see Sen. Dullo having a hearty chat with the Senate Minority Leader a few minutes ago. I told myself that things have changed. What has happened has taught us some lessons and one of the lessons arises from the reaction of the people to what has happened between the leaders. That has shown us that Kenyans are bound by God and we thank Him for that. We must obey the unity of purpose that founded this nation. I would like to urge Senators that arising from this lesson, we should now forge our future, especially in the next four-and-half years, in unity because there is a lot that we must do together. I know that we fell apart and were not able to do a number of things in this House. There is a lot that requires the unity of Senators. We have said that we want to reform the Senate, we want the Senate to be the eye of the people and do oversight that is required but we cannot do all that unless we are united. I encourage Senators to be united like our leaders, move forward and make this country proud. With those remarks, I support."
