    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this opportunity to address the House for the first time. I tried to be Member for Mbeere North in 2013 and 2017, but failed. So, for me, this is a dream come true and it is for this reason that I am grateful and humbled by the trust that the people for Mbeere North have bestowed upon me. I intend to serve both those who voted and those who did not vote for me. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am a live to the functions of the House, namely to represent the electorate, legislate and oversee the Executive. I am happy that in the inaugural address to this House, the President was emphatic that he expects legislation and oversight from the House. To achieve the purpose of the House, and in order to serve the aspirations of the country, I would urge that we work together, and look at the Bills and Motions that come before us for consideration and approval. I say so because there is no Kenya Kwanza Alliance country and an Azimio la Umoja - One Kenya Alliance country. The effect of bad laws from the House or no laws coming out of this House will be felt in the entire country. For His Excellency the President to succeed in his vision for this country, we will need to make robust and enabling laws and ensure their implementation. I will, therefore, urge that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
