    "content": "tragically taken from me before the elections and before he could see this child become great, his name shall echo beyond the walls of Parliament. To my family, my best friend, Andrew, who was there every day after I lost my father at the height of the campaigns, you are an invaluable addition in my life. It would be a disservice if I do not forewarn my colleagues that where I come from, we milk lions while seated on porcupines. As appertains to the President’s Speech, it gave home to a bedridden nation, was short and succinct. Of great importance was the rollout of subsidised fertiliser because my people are farmers. Therefore, it deeply concerns me because there are some farmers in Mwea and across Kirinyaga who are unable to access fertiliser because they do not own land. I implore upon the relevant authority to ensure that all farmers enjoy the subsidized fertiliser. Moreover, I implore upon the 13th Parliament and the Executive to cater for the young people of this nation. We must address the pressing needs of our young people, which include unemployment, mental health, and drug and substance abuse so that their future is secured by all means necessary. I wish to congratulate the President and his deputy for having shown the goodwill to engage, mentor and consult young leaders culminating to the signing of the Youth Charter. I assure them that the young people will hold them accountable to their promises. I further want to thank the President for taking the bold step of ensuring that we no longer have subsidies. It would have been the easier way having come from campaigns where we promised our people that we will lower the cost of living. Lastly, I want to give thanks to the Almighty God for seeing it fit to have me in this House. I will commit to serve diligently and pray that as new Members, we are able to learn from you who have walked before us in the next five years. May God bless the 13th Parliament. May God bless this nation. Thank you."
