    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, the President spoke very much about food security, agriculture and various other issues like the universal health care. I want to confirm that Kitutu Chache South is the only constituency in the larger Gusii region that has no inch of tarmac other than the highway going to Kisumu. We are hoping that we will be considered this time round. I wish to also appreciate the former Member of Parliament Hon. Richard Onyonka, and the Constituency Fund Manager, Mr. Kimutai, for the wonderful job they did. We have great projects that have been done by the NG-CDF. I wish the Member for Garissa Township stayed longer. He is an excellent debater and I wish he could be with us. He should have turned down the opportunity to serve as a Cabinet Secretary and join us in the House, so that he can help us in checking the Executive because he does a very good job. Even today, he pushed our party chairman to buy a television and watch how His Excellency William Ruto will do his work. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I served as an advisor to our President while he was the Deputy President and I have no doubt he will do a wonderful job with the opportunity that he has been given. I hope the Opposition will be objective and focus on its role unlike what we witnessed in the past five years where we did not seem to have a proper opposition that was checking the excesses of the Executive. I hope the Executive will focus on its mandate and not open aggressive policies like we saw in the past where they failed to honour court orders. Finally, I hope the President and his Cabinet will instil discipline especially in the Civil Service. I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I again want to thank the people of Kitutu Chache South for allowing me to serve them."
