    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. We have been sitting here for the past one week and I was wondering whether my card was not working. However, I am very pleased to have this opportunity. I congratulate you for being appointed as the Hon. Deputy Speaker of this House. I also congratulate our Speaker, Hon. Wetangula. We look forward to supporting you to deliver what we need to deliver to Kenyans. I want to take this opportunity to thank my people of Kajiado East Constituency for electing me as their MP to represent them and bring them development. I would like to thank my family for their unconditional support as well as my friends in the Diaspora community where I was living, the United States of America (USA). Many of us wish to have the opportunity to return to Kenya and help in ways that we can. When I told them that I was going to vie for this seat, many of them expressed a great deal of support and encouragement as they all also wish that they could find ways to help our country. Hon. Deputy Speaker I was very pleased to hear a strong emphasis on food production by our President. This country is obviously suffering due to lack of sufficient food supply and I hope that with his food policies and focus on agriculture we will, one day, be able to supply enough food to our people. It is very sad to see that every year, generations after generations continue to face food shortage and many of our people struggle due to lack of food. I hope that with policies of this administration, the set food subsidies that he is giving to our population and the fertilizers to our farmers will yield good results for our communities. Although the recent fertiliser subsidy was very good, I also wish to see subsidies being given for animal feeds so that our pastoral communities can afford them for their livestock. I hope that moving forward and considering the dire situation of drought in the country, our Government will be able to come up with subsidies for animal feeds so that our communities that feed their livestock can benefit."
