"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I appreciate and celebrate you. I congratulate you on joining the Speaker’s Panel to work together with Hon. Wetang’ula. Kindly guide the Assembly well. I also take this chance to appreciate students in the House. We were once students. We sat in seats like you. We have been like you. The future of Kenya is with you.

Pluck a mango and eat as you walk for another five kilometres. This is the Kenya that we want. I want to implore President Ruto to set aside a walking day for Kenya. On that day, Kenyans should walk along roads. No motorist should drive on that day so that we can exercise and become a healthy nation. Most of our young people are engaged in nurturing tree nurseries. They literally beg you to buy seedlings because they have no place to sell them.
