    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The two leaders, President Kenyatta and Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga have shown that leadership is about action and not positions. In fact, they have shown that this country can be divided by leaders and also united by leaders. The handshake on Friday 9th at Harambee House brought tranquility in this country. I thank them for being that bold and decisive. Without reference to anybody, they came out and made this county peaceful as it is today. It was said by Martin Luther King Jnr., that the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands at the time of challenge and controversy. We have had a lot of controversy. In fact, this country was almost dismembered. We were talking about two countries at one stage. We did many things. In fact, our leaders have saved this country. We have done it again for the second time. After the 2007/2008 Post-election Violence (PEV), when the two leaders then, His Excellency President Kibaki and Rt. Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga shook hands, the country just became peaceful and people’s hopes were raised. Now, the hopes of this country are very high. We at this Senate must support whatever is brought up in that agenda of building bridges for a new Kenyan nation. Let us be prepared and be innovative. It is the right time. A time like this---"
