    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to first of all, thank you as the leader of this House. You have proved yourself a leader whom all of us should emulate in our dealings. You have been exemplary to all of us. You showed that you do not favour any side of the House. You showed that both sides of the House are your business. I want to thank all my colleagues who have been helpful, especially the ones who had been here earlier - senior Members like Hon. Duale, who is the Leader of the Majority Party in the House and Hon. Mwadeghu, the Chief Whip on our side. I want to thank them all for having been good leaders and showing around those of us who had just come into the House for the first time. It has been a good experience for me. I want to thank the people of Kimilili for giving me the opportunity to represent them in the House. Back home, the people of Kimilili do not regret having brought me to the House because I have proved that whatever I have always wanted to do for them, especially using the National Government-Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) has been a good gain for them. The funds that the Government has provided through NG-CDF have provided what has been lacking in the past. It is not easy to find the kind of development that we have in Kimilili right now compared to the past where funds were provided selectively. With the NG-CDF, funds have not been provided selectively but it is a mandatory provision for the entire country, where everybody received funds and development is seen in various constituencies. On that score, I want to thank the Kenyan Government and urge them to ensure that the NG-CDF is not killed but remains to ensure that development across the country is achieved. I want to thank all my friends and colleagues like Hon. Koyoo, whom I have known for a long time in the world of business and Hon. Duale, who is also a businessman like me. We have had a very cordial relationship inside here. I am sure the people of Kimilili will give me another chance to come back to the House and continue serving them so that they can see more and better development in the constituency. With those few remarks, thank you all Members and I hope to see you again. I am sure a majority of you will make it back to the House, especially the ladies who have been agitating to ensure that they get the numbers here.I am sure Hon. Nyokabi will work hard to ensure that all the ladies that have been in this House come back, and are not left out there to start agitating for other ways."
