    "content": "First and foremost, I would like to take this chance to sincerely and from the bottom of my heart thank the people of Matungu Constituency for electing me to this Parliament through the by-election that came at the tail-end of this 12th Parliament. I came in through the by-election after a very rigorous campaign period. My election to this House showed that the people of Matungu have a lot of faith in me. The by-election happened after the death of the former Member for Matungu, Hon. Justus Murunga. I take this opportunity to pay my glowing tribute to the late Hon. Member. I also take this time to pledge that the trust that the people of Matungu gave me to replace Hon. Murunga at the tail-end of this session was a clear indication that they wanted me to complete his vision, to go on with it and fulfil the mandate that they had given him. It has been a very short period of time. I came in March last year. I was in court battling a petition for the better part of the year. Therefore, the time that I had to fulfil a lot of promises that the late Member of Parliament and I had made for the people of Matungu was not enough to realise all of them."
