    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. There is no doubt that this Parliament is releasing some of the best Members to the Executive. When I joined the 12th Parliament, Hon. Duale was one leader who easily mingled with us and would have breakfast with us. He would educate and teach us how to operate in this House and in politics. He raised the profile of this House. When he was the Leader of the Majority Party, this House was respected. Members of the Executive came here limping. They respected and feared this House. I thank him for that and for his dedication to public service. When I was a member of the Departmental Committee on Finance and National Planning, he would take his time to discuss with us details of the Finance Bill despite the fact that he was not a member of the Committee. I congratulate him for this feat and I know that he is going to perform. This country has the best investments in military hardware and software. Every year, we appropriate resources to recruit military personnel yet this country is one of the most disrespected. I want to urge him to ensure that this country is respected. I think it is time Kenya went to war so that our neighbours can respect us. I know Hon. Duale as a bold leader who will make sure that this country is respected. We do not want to see Uganda harassing our people on Migingo Island when he is the Cabinet Secretary for Defence. Hon. Alice Wahome, is a bold leader. If you look at the positions she took during the last regime, then you will know she is bold."
