    "content": "commitment to work for Kenyans – a trait I am sure you will use in your new role as you lead this House. I am happy to thank first the people of Kilifi North this afternoon for giving me a second opportunity to lead and represent them in this House. I would like to thank them for electing me despite the fact that I vied on a ticket of a party that faced a very hostile environment in that region. However, God was there and I am here. Thirdly, I would like to congratulate and to note with thanks the President’s Speech. He spoke with passion, commitment and the heart of a man who is ready to take up the challenge of leading this country to the next level. The President reiterated that this country and our democracy have come of age. For the first time, we have six more women who were elected to this House. Therefore, we have increased their numbers. That gives us confidence that women leadership is on the rise. This is exhibited even more by having a female Deputy Speaker in this House. This further reiterates the President’s sentiments. I look forward to having more women leaders in this Parliament so that we can bridge the gender gap."
