    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me start by congratulating you for being elected as the Deputy Speaker of this House. Last time I made my contribution, I congratulated the Speaker, but I had not congratulated you. I have no doubt that you will lead this House to conduct its affairs diligently and objectively. I also hope that the four Members who are going to constitute the Speaker’s Panel will be Members who possess experience and ability to help you run the House. Having said that, Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to make my contributions to the Speech of the President. First, this House has a collective responsibility to oversee and hold the Executive to account as a unit. I am also alive to the fact that the Minority side of the House or the opposition as it used to be called, has an extra responsibility to even hold the Executive to account much more. I am sure that we are not going to provide parochial opposition, but an objective opposition. We will support Government policies that are geared towards bettering the lives of Kenyans and only oppose those policies which would make us roll back on the gains that this country has made so far. So, you should expect a robust, informed and objective opposition from us, which will help the country to move forward."
