    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my remarks at the end of this term. First of all, I thank the people of Bomachoge Borabu for giving me the opportunity to serve in this Parliament. It was a very strange experience. For many years I had spent my time with international bodies. When I went to the people of Bomachoge Borabu, they were convinced and trusted me to be their leader for the five years ending in August this year. I thank the leadership of this House. It is a different experience being in Parliament compared to what happens in the corporate world. I thank you because you were able to adopt and mentor me through the processes and procedures in Parliament. May God bless you. Being in this House has been with many challenges and accomplishments on my part. I joined Parliament as an independent Member. It was not easy for me to find my bearing, especially because I did not have an association with parties. I want to thank the Jubilee Party for accepting to work with me for the five years, and for giving me a ticket to defend my seat come August this year. In this House, I have come across various characters and diversity in the way life is perceived and things are run. It has been a learning experience. I want to particularly single out the experience I have had with Hon. Wamunyinyi, the Chairman of the Committee on NG-CDF. Through him, we have been able to get all NG-CDF funding. Through the funding, I have been able to transform Bomachoge Borabu in different ways, making it the leading constituency in Kisii in terms of education, electricity connectivity and motorable roads. I can see time is running out. I want to end by saying that as we all leave this place, let us go out with one voice that God has a purpose in our lives and He has already destined to every one of us their future. We hope that all those who are committed to come back to this House will come back and proceed with the business that we have already began."
