    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to add my voice to this very important occasion as we come to the end of the last Session of the 11th Parliament. I want to start by thanking the people of Kapenguria, who have had confidence in me for all the years I have been in Parliament. Secondly, I want to thank you as, the Speaker of this House and as a friend. You visited several places. This is your constituency and you have visited some of our friends including Kapenguria where you accompanied the Safaricom people to open a school officially. I also remember you went to AIC Malivani where my children were learning. This is a good gesture from a Speaker. Even young children learn when they see a Speaker who controls a House of legislators. I also want to thank all the NGOs like the World Vision which have come to support West Pokot in general to improve the living standards of the people. These are the people we thank. We have not seen such support since Independence from the Government. We only see the missionaries, the religious bodies and the well-wishers who support us. I also want to thank the President and the Deputy President. They have gone there severally. For the first time, we have seen children learning about a tarmac road which they can see physically. So, we have a lot of confidence in the leadership of Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy. We know that with time, things will improve. I want to thank especially my neighbours the Turkana, Trans Nzoia and the other places because of peace. The leaders are now coming together to ensure that people live in peace. I also want to thank the Government because it has been supporting us especially the Inspector-General of Police. In fact, he has come to unite people and bring them together. I want to ask the Cabinet Secretary, Maj-Gen. (Rtd) Nkaissery--- He was a politician at one time but I think the military experience influences his mind. He thinks he is still a military person. Instead of interacting and moving with people, he is isolating himself. I am not ashamed to say that he has not stepped in that place even for a day since he was given an opportunity to lead those---"
