    "content": " Thank you, Hon Deputy Speaker. I would like to take the earliest opportunity to congratulate you and the Hon. Speaker on your well-deserved election as our Hon. Speaker and Hon. Deputy Speaker. I in particular celebrate you, on behalf of my class that you had the honour to teach Civil Procedure during my second year at the University of Nairobi. My Name is Hon. Stephen Mogaka. I am an Accountant, Banker and an Advocate of the High Court of Kenya. Those are the skills the people of West Mugirango saw fit to present to this House for use as part of the solution provision for the people of Kenya. For that reason, I have the humble opportunity of thanking the people of West Mugirango for coming out in large numbers and voting me in overwhelmingly. I promise I will not let them down. I am in fact a miracle Member of Parliament because the ward I hail from in West Mugirango there has never been an MP except for nine months only when the late George Justus Morara served and died in a road accident. Prior to that my other ward Member, Hon. Thomas Mong’are, had also died within one year of election. May God rest their spirits in eternal peace. Hon Deputy Speaker, as we support this Motion for Adjournment, the people of West Mugirango are mourning because they woke up to a brutal murder of a female school principal of Rangenyo Girls’ High School. I am hoping that Mr. Mutyambai and George Kinoti tendered their resignations. This is not what we are going to be subjected to in the Republic of Kenya. Through this House, Hon Deputy Speaker, I am pleading with the investigating agencies to get down to the bottom of what, and who killed Madam Lydia and have them brought to book as soon as practicable. Speaking of the drought ravaging this country, it has been a vicious cycle in the Republic of Kenya every other season. I sympathise with our compatriots in ASAL and request that this country gets a permanent solution to the drought problems. As I speak of drought, the area I represent of West Mugirango is within the convectional rain region of Lake Victoria. As the sun burns the rest of Kenya, the convectional currents run amok and the Gusii region is ravaged every other day by hailstorms which destroy food crop. Never have I heard about the possible compensation of victims of hailstorms. In the last two weeks areas like Bosamaro and parts of Bonyamatuta Wards suffered serious hailstorms, and coming with those hailstorms is The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
