    "content": "I also thank the people of Kitutu Chache North Constituency for believing and voting for me as a young person. I want to tell them that being in this august House, I will represent them faithfully as they deserve. I also want to thank the former Member of Parliament, Hon. Jimmy Nuru Angwenyi, who has been here for more than 25 years. I understand that Members of the 12th Parliament used to call him the “Grandfather of the House.” I have so much respect for him. I really thank him. I will try to fit in his shoes because he is one person who has worked for the people of Kitutu Chache North for far too long. I want to thank the President for his resolve to have Cabinet Secretaries coming to this House to respond to Questions that will be raised by Members. This is with regard to the roads in my constituency. There is a road that was started back in 2016 and stopped in the same year. This is the road that goes from Nyamukumba to Ng’enyi, Bobaracho, Monyerero, Ragogo and Tambacha to Marani. I believe when the Cabinet Secretaries come to this House to answer Questions, it will be easier for me as a Member of Parliament to ask questions and to know why the contractor has not finished the road six years down the line. As the Member of Kitutu Chache North, I want to tell my constituents that I will work with them and make sure that whatever they want passed in the House, is done. Lastly, on the issue to do with the hustlers’ fund, I thank the President so much because with that fund coming along, the young people of this country will be able to get funds so that they can establish their own businesses. We believe that the young people of this country will benefit through this fund. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am pleased that the President has reduced the price of fertilisers from Kshs6,500 to Kshs3500 per bag. With that reduction, farmers in my Kisii County will be able to produce more in terms of maize and other crops. This will make more food available for distribution to residents in ASALs, who are complaining of drought that has led to food deficiency. This will feed people in those areas because of the issues that they are undergoing. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity."
