    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I join my colleagues to support the Adjournment Motion. I thank the people of Wajir County for giving me this opportunity to represent them in this House. It is a prestige and a privilege for me to be here and I thank you all. However, for the last two-and-a-half months, the people of Northern Kenya have had many problems, especially because of the El Nino rains. There have been floods and houses have been destroyed. Crops that were ready for harvest were also destroyed, roads are not passable and people do not have access even food. Up to now, the intervention from the Government has been minimal and it is unfortunate that the people of Northern Kenya have been forsaken by the current regime. Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to tell them that we are few and we may not be a big number to vote for them, but we are the 50 plus one. That plus one is us and we will always be needed to vote for the Government of the day. It is high time that people changed their thinking on issues of voting and everything else. One other thing; this House represents devolution and county issues and Kenyans look forward to see this House become their saviour. We always know what is happening in the counties. My colleagues know that when they go home to their counties, there is a lot of misappropriation and plunder taking place."
