    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Before, I came to Parliament, I was a teacher and so, I know how to keep time. On behalf of the residents of Moiben Constituency, I rise to support the Motion by the Chairperson. As much as I support this, I hope Kenyans will feel the impact of the taxes we are paying in our constituencies. We hope that good strategies will be put in place to ensure a fair distribution of development in the country. For example, Moiben is a farming constituency. We hope those farmers will get support through capacity building and in their farming activities to increase production and feed the nation. Our society is still unequal. For instance, some parts of Moiben have impassable roads. We have issues with electricity connectivity. My constituents are still using the analogue means to light their homes. In our language, we call it ‘ tamambul’ . We hope that they are going to get electricity connectivity in this dispensation. Education is still a problem in my constituency. That is why I support the Government of the day in this House because I know it will change the situation in my constituency and the entire country. Therefore, I hope the Government will put in place very serious structures to avert corruption so that taxes can go to building the nation."
