    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Committee and to support their recommendations. This Parliament has done a lot in terms of such reports where hon. Members have gone out, in their respective committees, to come up with reports. We have similar situations like the one for the Masinde Muliro University versus the Kakamega Forest. We have a problem of land ownership at the Maragoli Forest. There is even another Report that we did on Syokimau. I think the Government will still be in place and these are the kind of things it should follow up and make sure that they are implemented. I also want to join my colleagues in saying that you have steered this House very diligently and well. There is a time – I will refer to what the Leader of Government Business said - when we were unable to decide who was to lead this House. You took it upon yourself to do it as a patriotic Kenyan. I am happy that you did it until the two principals were able to see sense, leave their own political interests and appoint the Leader of Government Business who has also done a wonderful job in steering the business of this House. I know that you will not be contesting although we were expecting you to come and contest in our county, Vihiga, for one of the seats. However, I am sure you left that because you want to continue with this good job. The only thing we can do is to wish you well so that God keeps you the way you are and may be you will improve and make this House better now that we will have a larger House. You can be our Speaker, because I also want to come back to this Chamber. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
