    "content": "I am also proud and happy that God blessed me, and I was born in the Republic of Kenya, a country whose citizens believe that their rights are not given by their Government, but they are given by their God and it is the duty of the Government to protect those rights. That is why the Kenyan citizen can choose what they want and can elect the leaders they want. That is why today, even with my status and condition, I was elected as a Member of Parliament, and that is why William Samoei Ruto, a chicken seller, was elected as the Fifth President of the Republic Kenya. Even on the face of the system, the deep State and the Government opposition, he was elected. I also want to congratulate and thank my Speaker because he led the team and the region that made the difference in who was elected President and who lost. I want to thank him for the support and for the relationship that he gave us. Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is also said that to whom much is given, much is expected. I won in all the wards in my constituency. I am inheriting a constituency that is still very young, that has been in existence for only 10 years under the 2010 Constitution. My people are in need of infrastructure. Schools are still not doing well, and many people lost their families and their marriages broke up because of the collapse of Pan Paper Mills. I just want to promise them that my experience as MCA - being nominated in 2013, elected in 2017, now elected as Member of Parliament - is a true testimony that I lead what Kenya Kwanza stands for. I am a true testimony of how bottom-up can work. Being nominated, elected as an MCA and now a Member of Parliament, I am sure the sky is the limit. Tutapanga maneno hapo mbele. I want to assure my people that we are going to do whatever we can. We are going to go out of our way to ensure that we realise every plan, every strategy and every manifesto that we promised them. I just want to ask them for their support and walk with me in this journey so that we can transform our constituency together. From the outset, I just want to thank the President for his Speech. Through it, he was able to demonstrate that he does not believe in quantity, but in quality, preciseness and in unequivocalness. This is why his Speech was precise, simple and to the point. I want to also thank the President because while the former President, Uhuru Kenyatta believed so much in big things and initiating big projects, I am happy with the current President, the Kenya Kwanza's and the Fifth President. I want to thank him because he believes in very simple and few things that are important to the Republic of Kenya and its citizens. That is why in the inaugural Speech, he talked about universal healthcare and the transformation of agriculture."
