Umulkher Harun and it is with great honour and responsibility that I am able to serve in this 13th Parliament. I appreciate my party, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), for believing in my capacity and allowing me to represent the interests of young people in this country. I also want to congratulate all Members who were elected and nominated from different political parties and wish them well as they discharge their mandate. President William Samoei Ruto in his inaugural session in this House outlined various issues which his administration would wish to undertake. One fundamental issue His Excellency touched on is immediate consideration of the current drought afflicting our people in the northern parts of our country. I urge the President to work closely with the Pastoralist Parliamentary Group (PPG) so as to address the immediate needs as well as stable long-term solutions. Arid and Semi-Arid Lands regions make up 89 per cent of land cover in this country. I would like to let the House know that the best lemons and watermelons come from Garissa County and northern Kenya at large. On the hustlers’ fund, it is my belief that the President will actualise his pledge to the youth who I represent in this House. I urge him to ensure the fund is immediately available to Kenyans on affordable interest rates, so, they can either expand or start their businesses.
