    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, briefly, I thank all the Members who have contributed to this Motion. The views that have been given form a very good record. The deliberations of this House as usual are in the HANSARD. We can go an extra mile of compiling and making it available to the two leaders, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta and His Excellency, Raila Amollo Odinga so that they could get the feeling not only of the support but also the ideas we have contributed to this debate and project that is going on. The Bible has been quoted a lot here, but in the name of our brothers who are of the Islamic faith, I have found another verse here which is very compelling. It says:- “All you who believe, be persistently standing firm in justice as witnesses for Allah.” This is all about doing justice. I hope that this debate is not going to be derailed by thinking about the 2022 elections. In fact, a lot of those who are now clamouring to be included in the process are not doing so because of the project but their own political objectives which are extraneous to the reason why these two leaders came together. I am glad to notice that the Deputy President the other day said that we let ourselves discuss the agenda and forget about the politics of 2022. Once we begin to talk about 2022 and to think about those who want to play a role then, this debate will be derailed. I think President Uhuru Kenyatta and Rt.Hon. Raila Odinga should take charge. There is going to be an appropriate time when everybody will have their say and participation. However, at this point in time let us not get in to the situation in the Democratic Republic of Congo where they said that they should have everybody. They have been talking about elections and democracy for the last 20 years. We do not want to take that amount of time. In conclusion, speaking in---. I beg to move. 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."
