Peter Shake","speaker":null,"content":" Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to make a maiden speech in this House. I have been in the queue for the last six days. I thank God for the opportunity that I have got today. My name is Hon. Peter Shake. By the grace of God, I am a born again Christian and, at the same time, a Canon in the Anglican Church. First, I would like to thank the almighty God and the people of Mwatate for giving me this special opportunity to serve them as their fifth Member of Parliament. I do not take it for granted. It is, indeed, a great honour and privilege they have given me. My great people of Mwatate, I assure you that I will serve you with a lot of commitment, tirelessly and with dedication. Special appreciation goes to my family and friends for offering total support before, during and after the elections."}
