    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity for me to add my weight to this housing matter. When you look at the value chain of the stakeholders involved in this housing project, plumbers, masons, carpenters, electricians and engineers--- we have young people in the villages whose talent is to make bricks that are going to tap directly into this project. Those who are not in support of this affordable housing project need to understand that when you are putting on shoes, you may not know that there are people who do not have shoes out here. We must have sympathy and empathise with them. When an opportunity has come in this country for us to embrace these Kenyans, let us do so with the speed that it deserves. The President of the Republic of Kenya was in Bungoma to launch this project. I was there and other stakeholders were there. It would be against my moral standing to sit here and see this noble project being shut down by my good friends, who do not understand what housing is. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I support this and plead with my good friends, from Vihiga County and Busia County to join the winning team; to join us to shelter our great people from Mulembe nation. The time has come to move from the grass-thatched houses and to live in the confines of cool and permanent structures in this country."
