    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. King David, writing in the book of Psalms 133 says:- “How good and pleasant it is when brothers dwell together in unity. It is like precious oil overflowing down from his head down to the beards of Aaron”. I had to quote the second part – although not relevant – just to hear my name. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a great day for this nation. I am so happy and I feel elated as a young leader, that for the first time in this House – even when you take a stroll through social media and the streets of this city and interact with the people that we represent – there is a sigh of hope. In 2007 when we had the unfortunate events of what happened in Kenya, we were told that not many African countries have ever had the chance to turn away from the path that we had taken. On Friday, what happened on the steps of Harambee House, people again reminded us that it is not every African country that has had the opportunity of two protagonists in the political contest coming together and saying, “for the sake of unity, let us build a great nation.” My question this evening is, for how long shall we throw away such golden opportunities? I hope that this time round, we shall be serious, address the issues that have divided us for so long and together, build a nation that we shall be all proud to belong to."
