    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I want to tell all hon. Members here that they are within my constituency. So, karibunyumbani ! This Parliament is within Starehe Constituency. God bless you! I would like to thank and congratulate the eminent persons and our two principals; His Excellency the President and the Prime Minister Mr. Raila for the work they have done. Referring to him as the Prime Minister does not mean that I do not know that he has not been sworn-in. My Bible tells me that we call things that are not, as if they were. I would also like to congratulate all hon. Members for being elected. Some of them as we hear are back in the House for the fifth time. I am thinking; Oh Lord, I pray that I will live to see the fifth time and the sixth time! Others are back for the second term and others for the first time, like me. Congratulations to all of you! I would like to add my voice in supporting the Presidential Speech. It is notable that the President started his Speech by congratulating and giving a special welcome to the lady hon. Members of Parliament. That means he appreciates the gender issues that we have been fighting for, for so long. Equality does not mean being at par, but being given equal opportunities. This means that Kenyans have matured to a level where women cannot be ignored any more. Not even the President can miss noticing us in Parliament and in other levels of society."
