    "content": "I wish to start off by congratulating hon. Speaker and hon. Deputy Speaker on your election to your positions. I also congratulate every hon. Member of this House on their election to the House. This being my maiden speech, I wish to thank the voters of Narok County for their overwhelming support for me, and for entrusting me with their aspirations for a better tomorrow. In support of the Presidential Address, I wish to say that generally it sets a good pace for the legislative agenda in this House. But I would wish to specifically applaud the Presidential Address on three key issues, the first of them being the pledge by the President to support the National Land Commission (NLC). I specifically say this because we know – and I support the sentiments aired by my sister from Mombasa – that land has, in equal measure, been and continues to be both a good asset and one that creates conflict. Hearing the President highlighting or pledging support for NLC is a great relieve particularly because we know that under the Constitution, the NLC is tasked with the enormous task of addressing historical land injustices in this country. I think this gives us a good opportunity to un-package land issues and problems that are facing this country. Like I said, land has been associated with conflicts in various parts of this country. At the same time, it forms the nerve centre of livelihoods for many people in this country."
