"content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to take this great opportunity to, first, thank the people of Soy for electing me to represent them. There were quite a number of issues that we discussed during the campaigns and also during public participation meetings. I want to assure them that we will make sure that we will deliver. I know there are quite a number of challenges on the ground, but let them relax and as soon as the Government is in place, we will ensure that we embark on development projects that will change their lives. Hon. Deputy Speaker, secondly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you, being our Woman Representative and as the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly. I want to thank you, on behalf of the people of Uasin Gishu. You have our maximum support and we shall work together for the people of Uasin Gishu. I also want to thank all Kenyans, and in particular the people of Soy, who participated fully in ensuring that the Government of Kenya Kwanza is now in place. We want to assure them that the only thank you that we are going to deliver is to make sure that we do the developments we have set forth through our manifesto. Before I embark on the Address by the President, I want to say that we have challenges as a country. Kenyans will be looking upon Parliament and, in particular, the National Assembly, to make sure that some of the independent bodies, including the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), are made to function properly. We put there men and women who can stand independently so that we can avoid the likes of Cherera and the group. We want to call upon this Parliament to make sure that, as we embark on our business, one of the institutions that is so important and dear to Kenyans is the IEBC. We need to put up commissioners who are independent, fair and are able to adjudicate on elections. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
