First and foremost, I want to thank the Almighty God for giving us this opportunity to discuss crucial and fundamental issues that concern our respective counties. The Bible says seek ye the kingdom of God first and the other things will come later. I thank God because he has strengthened us. He has given us enough energy to withstand the challenges faced by this nation. I know the recess is not just to go to our respective counties and rest. It is a second phase. We have started the first phase. The second phase is a phase of consulting with the people who voted for you. They are supposed to evaluate and assess you. After consulting them, we come with a new spirit because they will have given us the mandate to come in another chance to sit in this House and contribute to very important issues. I know that we are in recess. However, the problems encountered by our counties are not in recess. For example, drought, hunger, diseases and corruption are not in recess. So, it is ample time that God has given us to meditate on emerging critical issues that affect this community. I also want to congratulate this House. This is my third term. For the first two terms, I have been in the National Assembly. I, however, want to put in on record that we were 349 Members of Parliament (MPs). So, for you to just get an opportunity to say a Statement, it was so difficult like going to Heaven or Canaan. However, here, it is so"
