    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. First and foremost, I formally congratulate Hon. Aden Duale and Hon. Alice Wahome for their initial nomination and approval this morning. I also congratulate all other nominees who have been in Parliament, both in the Senate and the National Assembly. Hon. Duale, you have done a good job. I call you Leader of the Majority Party Emeritus, because you were the first Leader of the Majority Party under the new Constitution, and you served us very well. I am sure the current Leader of the Majority Party will find your shoes too big to fill, but I am sure he will try. Hon. Duale, the people of Garissa elected you for four terms, and I am sure they will miss you; but, please, ensure that you still continue serving them as well as the entire Republic of Kenya. To the people of Garissa Township, please ensure that you bring someone capable of filling the shoes of Hon. Aden Barre Duale. As our patron of the Pastoralists Parliamentary Group, I wish you well as you proceed to your new docket. Congratulations as well to Hon. Alice Wahome. You have done your bit. You have served the people of your county and constituency, and now you are going to serve in a bigger capacity. They call you the Iron Lady. I want to see the ‘iron’ in you in terms of water delivery. Remember that many parts of this country, especially pastoralist counties, still lack water. Please, make it a priority to ensure that Kenyans, more so pastoralist counties, receive this precious ‘gold’ in the name of water. We wish you well. As you undertake your duties, remember this House and accommodate each and every one of us. Thank you."
