Aden Duale","speaker":null,"content":"Hon. Deputy Speaker, you need to protect me. I am a Member and I want to thank the people of Garissa Township. They elected me four times in four different political parties; that is ODM, URP, Jubilee Coalition and now UDA. That tells you that they have the confidence in my leadership. I moved with President William Ruto, who they told me to walk with. He took me to ODM and URP, but I did not mind because I was a pastoralist. I am so happy that what I said many years ago – that I will retire in politics when His Excellency William Ruto is in Statehouse – has been achieved; and may God bless Kenya and the Government of William Ruto. I hope that this House will provide leadership. I know that we have a very vibrant opposition. We have very good leaders on the other side. Let us all work together to protect the interests of our people. Thank you."}
