    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to thank my people of Mbeere South because they had to fight the tides and waves of Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Kwanza to bring me to this House as an Independent Member. The message which the people of Mbeere South sent through this election was that Mbeere South is committed to work with the President because they overwhelmingly voted for him too. Embu County is all Kenya Kwanza except for Mbeere South where I am an Independent Member. The message they gave me as I came to this House is that I must work with the Government so that I can deliver on the promises that I made to them. I want to thank them very much for standing with me and ensuring that I come to this House. I want to thank them for the confidence and the trust they have in me. I trust that this 13th Parliament is going to be different from other Parliaments. We must enact laws which are going to facilitate provision of services to our people. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I have been listening to the debate and many Members are talking about problems. However, one speaker has made a very good presentation that since 1965 to date, we are still talking about the same problem of drought. Mbeere South, a semi- arid and one of the largest constituencies in Embu County, and also the most underdeveloped in that county, has been having the same cycle of drought and hunger."
