    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Motion. I commend His Excellency the President, Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta and His Excellency the Rt. hon. Raila Odinga for rising up to the occasion when Kenya really needed them most. This is to demonstrate that, indeed, they are statesmen. As Senators, we must take this challenge and, indeed, propel what legacy they have brought to us. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a country needs peace and, indeed, Kenya now has peace. It is with this peace that our economy is going to rise above where it was. We need to embrace the peace that we have and all sectors that have been mandated with bringing peace in this country. The hatred that had taken root in this country was far beyond. Indeed, when I come to this House and stand to see that we have been unified by these two statesmen with their statements, words and handshake, I feel very relieved as one of the legislatures in this House. We need to applaud these two men. We also need to pull together and it is our duty to support this through various organs. We need to embrace this peace so that the Ministries, the Legislature, the Executive and the Judiciary can work and deliver on their respective mandates. It is only by doing this that we shall serve as an example to enable others to see what we are doing in Kenya. This will ensure that other countries that are not considering peace as being part of their undertakings to look at what Kenya is doing so that peace can prevail in their countries. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support the Motion. 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."
