"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity, so that I can also make a comment on the day we are going away from this Parliament. First and foremost, I thank you so much for the guidance you have given this House. Your wealth of experience has really given us a wide experience on how matters of Parliament are carried out. Secondly, I thank the people of Nyamira. They gave me a chance to come in. They voted me in overwhelmingly. They have walked with me throughout the five years I have been in Parliament. It is the favour of God that gave us this chance so that we can serve the people of the Republic of Kenya. I thank the people of Nyamira for praying for me. I also want to ask them, once more, to give me the chance, so that I can continue with the work which we have worked on with them together as we move forward. They have promised they are going to give me this chance on 9th August, so that I come in and continue the job I have started. I cannot forget to thank the President of the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta. I came in through his party, the Jubilee Party. I have been guided. I have known a lot and seen how far the President has brought the country. Through his leadership and the handshake, Kenya has had peace. We pray as we move forward. We have seen what the incoming fifth President has done. He has nominated a woman to be his deputy. He has given us that respect as women. We want to tell Kenyans that this time round, as women, we are moving forward and we are going to vote in Martha Karua. As a result, we are going to have our fifth President, Raila Amolo Odinga. I thank Kenyans. I wish you well as we move forward. We are praying for peace. Let our elections be peaceful and we hope we will come back here. To all my colleagues, I wish you the best."
