    "content": " Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to make a few remarks. First of all, I want to take this opportunity to thank the people of Kisii County for electing and giving me the opportunity to represent them in this House and serve them. Like others who have spoken before, I also want to congratulate the Speaker and you on your election to lead this honourable House. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want, in particular, to take this early opportunity to support the Statement made in Parliament last week by the honourable Speaker. On that occasion, he articulated his views on the role of the Senate. I support the position he took. The Speaker and you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, have the greatest role to play to ensure that this Senate secures its rightful place in the management of the affairs of this country. I have had the opportunity to know both of you. I am confident that you have the capacity and quality necessary to lead this House and deliver your mandate. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, turning to the President’s policy statement, it reflects the wishes of millions of Kenyans. It gives hope to people whose aspirations have been shattered over the years. The President was very categorical that he wants to see higher economic growth rate achieved to enable Kenya to move to become a middle income country within the shortest possible time. He wants to see all Kenyans enjoy a better quality of life. He wants the cost of living reduced so that many Kenyans can be lifted out The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
