    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, in replying, I thank the Members who have spoken. The functioning of our committees is commendable. They are vibrant. We sit in all of them although there is a rotational position that you must sit in one committee. In this particular Session like the Session of the 10th Parliament where I used to lead the delegation, we started when we were in a political situation that needed clarification. Madam Temporary Speaker, you may remember that when we were in Brussels, we discussed the situation in Kenya. At that time, the Supreme Court had just said that we go for repeat elections. Everybody was nervous. We told them not to be nervous because we came through in 2007. We came back. It was nice to report in Haiti that all was well in Kenya. We had repeated elections and all went well. So, we look forward to the next session when we can inform them that we have gone beyond that. We have had handshakes and that all is well in this country. It makes me feel proud to represent the country in this kind of delegations, where when you are discussing the country’s situation, you can positively predict that Kenyans will turn around. These fora give us opportunities to portray the image of our country positively and make other states, especially the European Union, understand the workings of our nation. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those remarks, I commend the report to Members. I urge them to look at the details and use them for opportunity. 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."
