    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me an opportunity to address this House for the first time. Indeed, this is my maiden speech. I want to congratulate you for your election as the Deputy Speaker and for the election of Hon. Moses Masika Wetangula as the Speaker of this House. I sincerely give my thanks to the people of Mathioya for giving me the opportunity to serve them in this House. It is an honour given that out of the 50 million Kenyans, I am part of the 350 that are serving this House. I thank my family, my wives, my children, my nuclear family, my dad and mum – Mr. and Mrs. Gichuki – for the support they gave me. They cheered me on when it was not fashionable to do so. I thank the President and the Deputy President for the numerous trips they made to Mathioya to come and campaign for me through the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party so that my dream could become a reality. Mr. President and your Deputy wherever you are, I give you my thanks. I want to thank the UDA party for the free and fair primaries or nominations because without them, I could not be in this House.
