    "content": "I want to thank the people of Bungoma because as I was sleeping in Bungoma Police Station, they were gracious enough. They brought me a lot of food, they visited me. So, I will always be grateful to them. I do not know the reason why I was put in a police cell up to date. However, what I appreciate is that they were very hospitable and they visited me. At that time, the United Democratic Party (UDA) had a candidate for Ford Kenya. We did not know that Ford Kenya would come and join Kenya Kwanza and form the Government. I want to express my gratitude. I travelled around Kabuchai and interacted with those people in Bungoma and I really want to be grateful that the lessons that I picked in Bungoma will remain. I hope that one day I can go back to Bungoma Police Station and assist in repainting and at least do something there because that was the fourth time in my life whereby I was sleeping while standing. I have been arrested. You know almost all police stations in Nairobi I know them by name and what they look like. That was the only time and I really want to thank them. Finally, I want to thank them for giving us the Speaker of the National Assembly, your former Senator, hon. Moses Wetangula. We served with him here with distinction. The Temporary Speaker also served with him when he joined us and also during the beginning of the term. We thank you for giving us Sen. Wetangula. The Presidential vote to be honest was won and lost in Bungoma. You are the people who ensured President William Ruto was elected the fifth President. Please, pass our regards to the great people of Bungoma that we will work together in Kenya Kwanza. Do not worry about the noise. I heard Sen. Wafula saying that Ford Kenya will remain an independent Party. Those are in-house issues and we will sit down to iron them. We value you as members and a family in Kenya Kwanza, I want to assure you from where I stand and knowing the heart and the mind of the President that Bungoma will always remain in a special place in the President’s heart. I want to assure you that there are many development agendas that we will push for the benefit of the great people of Bungoma under the Kenya Kwanza Administration. It is good that you read the signs. If you had stayed in Azimio, you would still be on the roads throwing stones. With those very many remarks, allow me to welcome them and wish them well. We hope we can take tea after this and compare notes. Congratulations and all the best. I thank you."
