    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to congratulate you and the Speaker for being elected to serve in this 13th Parliament. Members believed in you, and we are sure that you are going to take this 13th House to the greatest heights. I also want to take this opportunity to thank the people of Moiben Constituency for giving me an opportunity to serve them as an MP for the First Time. I appreciate the people from the following Wards: Karuna/ Moibeki, Moiben, Tembelio, Kimumu and Sergoit. These are the wards that form Moiben Constituency. I believe that I am up to the task, and I am going to serve them diligently. I want to pay tribute to my predecessors, particularly the women who have been elected to serve in Moiben Constituency. I would like to start with Hon. Chelagat Mutai posthumously, and also Hon. (Prof.) Kamar, who have given service to the people of Moiben Constituency. Moiben is a very interesting constituency. It sets a very high bar for women. It is almost becoming difficult in that for one to qualify as an MP, you must be a Professor. I hope they will set the same for our male counterparts. I also take this opportunity to thank the women who prayed for me, who tied the traditional Kalenjin legetio for the entire season I was campaigning. I want to thank the men, and in particular the old men, who gave me the traditional saliva as a blessing. I want to thank the young children who gave me the long string of saliva – the one that is unending – as a blessing as they cheered me during the campaign season. I am telling them that I am going to serve them very well."
