    "content": " Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Motion. This House must be congratulated for the good work it has done. Unfortunately, Kenyans - and I do not know which schools they went to - whatever you do, however, hard you work for them, they will always have the worst words for you. Where I was trained, I was told that if you do not appreciate what others have done, you fail. So, according to me, all the media people have failed. Last week, we took our students to Uganda under the Federation of East African Secondary Schools Sports Association. We beat the whole of East Africa, but that has not been highlighted. We have just been talking about Daegu and All African Games. However, our students went to Uganda and, out of 13 gold medals, we took ten. Our girls beat the whole of East Africa in soccer. We got a gold medal for soccer and a silver medal too. Nobody has appreciated the Ministry of Education for doing all that. So, let us appreciate everybody. We are having rains in some parts of Kenya today, including floods. Let Kenyans take advantage of the rains and plant. The weather man has said that there will be good short rains. So, let us prepare and plant. However, my concern is about my constituency where we have serious floods. A lot of water comes from the hills. So, I am appealing to the Ministry of Water and Irrigation to help us in controlling those floods. We have already experienced a lot of damage so far. I support."
