    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I am contributing to the Petition on the National Peace Day. I am sorry I was not very attentive to get the name of the petitioner. I come from an area that is frequently affected whenever there are elections. There is always some violence. I totally agree with the petitioner. If we base the date of the National Peace Day on the handshake issue, then other handshakes might in future also find their way into this country. I agree with the petitioner that this country requires a national peace day where people come together for purposes of national cohesion, unity, togetherness and peace. As Mzee Moi used to say: peace, love and unity. It is very important. In Nakuru County, we appreciate the peace that has existed since the first handshake which was started by His Excellency the President and his Deputy, William Samoei Ruto, when they came together in 2012. Peace has prevailed in our region for quite a while. It is not a matter of who did the handshake, because if we go by the people who started the peace process, it was the President and his deputy. I totally agree with the petitioner that this country should not go back to that unfortunate period in our country when we experienced a lot of violence. Nakuru County, particularly, suffered a lot. That peace should prevail for our future generations. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
