    "content": "Hon. Speaker, let me also congratulate my immediate former Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and my former Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. John Mbadi and Hon. Opiyo Wandayi who is the current Leader of the Minority Party. These are two fine gentlemen who are intelligent and hardworking. They are people of consensus. Every time we had an issue in the House or PAC, we brought our heads together. I want to thank Hon. John Mbadi, Hon. Opiyo Wandayi and my other colleagues who are not with us: the late Hon. Jakoyo Midiwo and the late Hon. Nyenze, Member for Kitui West. I look forward to a harmonious working relationship between the Legislature and Executive. The country needs us to step up. We must do it for the service of the nation. I trust that the people of Garissa Township will send to this House a hardworking and patriotic lawmaker as my replacement. Please, Hon. Speaker and colleagues, grant him or her the support he or she needs to continue serving the people. I must now sit down. In accordance with the Constitution, I will hand over my resignation letter this afternoon, so that you can send the writs to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), so that they give the people of Garissa Township an opportunity to elect a new Member of Parliament. As I sit down, I will not say goodbye to Members. I will say, see you soon, because I expect to be back as a Cabinet Secretary to respond to your Questions, as we transform this country from the bottom-up. I thank all the 349 Members, the staff, Committee on Appointments, media and all the people who gave me that opportunity. Hon. Speaker, I thank you for the time you have accorded me."
