    "content": "(hon. (Ms.) A.W. Ng’ang’a): Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I congratulate you and hon. Speaker, for having been elected into those positions. I thank the people of Thika Town Constituency for making it possible for me to be in the Eleventh Parliament. I am happy to be here and I promise that I will work for them to my level best. Hon. Deputy Speaker, from the Presidential Speech, he offered transformative leadership. In transformative leadership, it means change and we know not so many people love change. That is why we are having difficulties in people understanding what actually the President meant in his Speech. That is where innovation and creativity takes place. When he said that we are going to have laptops, people are finding it very hard. It is not hard for a willing heart. The President told us “ yote yawezekana !” All is possible if all of us put our heads together. A laptop in Standard One is just like any other book. It is a requirement for every child to have that book at that level. I also find it very hard for people not to understand the laptops. Our children right now at home can access our phone and work with them. They can even send text messages. When those children are given that opportunity, they will deliver. By the time they are in Class Two or Three, they will understand those laptops. So, it is possible for children to use them. What hon. Members are saying is that they might be rained on. But just like books are never rained on, even laptops are not going to be rained on. They will take good care of them. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the President said that he is going to modernize agriculture. We all know that if this opportunity is given to the people, it will reduce congestion in towns. People will undertake farming and we are going to have some people being self-employed. We are going to have food security in this country. So, I do not find that hard to implement. He has just been there for the last two weeks. So, let us give him a chance to see how far he can go because he is willing. We know we will get there very soon. He also stated that we are going to have stadia in different regions. This is very important because last year, we got stars from Tusker Project Fame within six weeks."
