    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. First, I thank you very much for guiding us in this House. You have stood with us and protected us from people from outside this House. You have shown that you are the father of this House. I thank you most sincerely. My family and I would like to thank you for standing with me during the time I was jailed. I could call from remand prison and speak with you. I will never forget that. It is not easy for a Speaker to speak to someone in custody. I pray for you and your family so that God may add you more years to lead us in other ways. Do not give up on your ambitions. I know that one day your dream will come true. God is with you. All Members of this House have been praying for you. God has something for you. So, do not give up. I thank the people of Sirisia for having voted for me three times. I won the elections in 2007 although there is a thief in Bungoma who knows how to steal votes from others. He stole from me. For the two terms that I have been in this House, you have been very important to me. I thank you most sincerely. I thank the people of Sirisia. I ask them to vote for me for the fourth time. You have done us proud wherever we walk. You have guided us on committee business. I thank the staff, the Clerk’s Office, the secretariat and all the people of this House. We also pray for them. I thank President Uhuru Kenyatta for also supporting Parliament."
