    "content": "leaders from humble backgrounds, Hon. William Ruto. The Deputy President, Hon. William Ruto, whom I am with in the fourth party - United Democratic Alliance (UDA). I want to thank all the leaders, including Hon. Raila Odinga and His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta whom I have worked with for seven years. In one way or the other, they contributed to my political career. Despite parting ways, I have a lot of respect for the President of the Republic of Kenya, many staff, many Ministers and Permanent Secretaries I have worked with. Today I am making my last speech in the 12th Parliament. I had to fly from Mandera to ensure that the Huduma Namba Bill, which contravenes various Articles of the Constitution, including Article 118 on public participation; Articles 201, 221, 226, 229 and 94 (6), Article 31 on the right to privacy as well as Article 24 and Standing Order No.133 (5) is scrutinised.

There are people in Government who feel that Muslims, the Somali community and other minority communities are visitors. I want to tell them to their face that Kenya belongs to all of us. Through your help, Hon. Speaker, and the petition that I brought to this House, thousands of the people whose data was captured in the refugee camps have already got their Identification Cards (IDs). My Party Leader traversed Garissa, Wajir and Mandera counties and committed to two things: First, that never again will the people of northern Kenya be denied their constitutional citizenship rights. Secondly, never again will the people who profess the Islamic faith and the Somali community be killed through extrajudicial killings. I want to say it here that it is very sad that this Parliament allowed this Government to borrow Kshs7 trillion; and this House, through coercion, bribery and intimidation approved Kshs10 trillion. When Kenya Kwanza takes over, we will stabilize the economy. Please, let us not fight mitumba; let us not fight scrap metal…"
