    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am hon. Omondi Anyanga and I represent Nyatike Constituency. I take this opportunity to thank my constituents for electing me as their Member of Parliament in the Tenth Parliament. My constituency tells the story of what is wrong with Kenya's development agenda and the Tenth Parliament must address this. It is a case of available natural resources which do not help residents of Nyatike. In Nyatike, we have Lake Victoria, gold and copper deposits in a place called Macalder Mines. There are also historical sites ideal for tourism. There could be oil deposits too, in the area, but my people have not benefited from these resources. They feel the Government has failed them. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to congratulate our leaders, President Mwai Kibaki and hon. Raila Amolo Odinga for agreeing to share power. I support the agenda the President outlined in his Speech and the unity pact he signed with hon. Raila Amolo Odinga. In return, I hope the leaders will pay attention to the problems of the forgotten past of Kenya. There is a Kenya that Kenya forgot and that is where Nyatike falls. We need programmes that will create jobs and give Kenyans hope. Certain parts of Kenya need special treatment in order to catch up with the rest of the country and that is where Nyatike belongs. I look forward to us supporting each other in this Tenth Parliament for the sake of our people. Thank you."
