    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I must thank you for giving me this opportunity to make my first speech in this House. Secondly, I must congratulate you for having been elected as the Deputy Speaker for the 13th Parliament. My name is Erick Wamumbi, the Member for Mathira. My election was a miracle. I was not prepared for this until the former Member of Parliament for Mathira was elevated to become the second Deputy President of this Republic. That is how my election came by. For that reason, I must thank the people of Mathira for having trust in me, for believing in me and for electing me to represent them in this august House. I will not forget to thank my mentor, my friend, His Excellency Rigathi Gachagua who held my hand, who believed in me, and who believed in a young leader. I was agitated when the nominated Member, Hon. Mbadi, said that the Deputy President has been saying that it is their time to eat. I would like to tell Hon. Mbadi that His Excellency the Deputy President is not a petty man. He is consistent and he means what he says. He said that the Government which is led by President William Ruto and his deputy will work for all the people of this country — those who voted for them and those who did not vote for them.
