    "content": "Since 1992, Nakuru has always been at the fore front. It has been the epicentre of fights and violence, but for the first time, we will vote and wake up in the morning without bothering our neighbors or wondering about what is happening next door. We will wake up and our children will go back to school a day after elections. If you look at the number of internally displaced persons (IDP’s) who were in Nakuru and more so in my constituency, you will be shocked. There is a place called Canaan, the first Canaan that I ever saw. It is Canaan because there is still hope that one day they will go back to their respective parcels of land and businesses. So many of their children are just hopeless hawkers in town because they never had an opportunity to go to school. I do not want to go into many issues, but Nakuru County is going to get an extra Kshs10 billion. It is only a fool who will not want that kind of money to come to us. I want to see services being rendered by the county government and members of the county assembly (MCAs). Most of the governors have taken advantage that they have the money and so they can punish MCAs just because they are not on their side. When an MCA gets his or her Ward Development Fund, that place will grow. That is the place where I stay and come from. It is unfortunate that most of the people who are going round and opposing this document are the very same people who brought us the Motion. As the Government, we supported every Motion that was brought here. So, it is wrong for you now, just because you are on the other side, to start dancing differently. It was very unfortunate that when Hon. Kimunya, the Leader of the Majority Party, was moving a Procedural Motion, others were quarrelling him. For what? We are the ones who are supposed to make decisions."
