    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I will speak and if I may have any little experience to give to a very distinguished scholar at the university, let me do it right now. We all serve and have served in various capacities, whether on appointed capacities as Cabinet Minister or elective positions. It does not matter what it is, you all the time serve at the pleasure of the appointing authority. Any indication that there is no confidence in you, in itself calls upon a very quick meditation on what you should do about that event. Many times, I have escaped the wrath of a very ruthless decision because when I considered all things, I said that sometimes, it is better to move aside and allow certain things to happen. This is because when they happen, you will be vindicated in the future. I lost elections three times because people told me that I did not perform well and I have been elected back to power four times. That in itself, is a very humbling experience. There was a time when there was a change of leadership in the party hierarchy, and a man I loved so much, the late President Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, said it was time to change the format. The late Prof. Saitoti was the Vice President and Vice Chairman of the KANU, but when the change came, we accepted it gracefully. In the end, he became the Vice President until he decided to leave when he joined the other party. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
