    "content": "Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord. The maker of heaven and earth He will not let your foot slip He watches over you Will not slumber nor sleep The Lord watches over your coming And going, now and forever more. Amen.” Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the people of Kibwezi West Constituency for the faithfulness and steadfastness in making a profound statement that: “PamojaTunaweza .” Indeed, at this juncture I look up to the great and onerous task as I took the great Oath to defend the Constitution of the Republic of Kenya. Indeed, I stand on the shoulders of giants. The first time I entered into this House - I have confessed this to a couple of you hon. Members - I felt like walking with a notepad and taking autographs because there are great people in this House. Hon. Speaker, Sir, as people debate and try to impute honour of the august House, I stand here to uphold the same and contribute on the plight of the many Kenyans, including the many people of Kibwezi West Constituency. I just want to highlight only two issues. The first one is on security. We borrowed a leaf and said that security is the responsibility of each and every individual in this Republic. We say kaa macho all the time. Together, if we uphold our risks and threats assessment skills, we will prevail against all and sundry. Two, on road carnage, I want to say that where we cannot take responsibility for our people, because we have lost a lot of people in Kibwezi West, along the Great Nairobi-Mombasa Highway, I think it is high time we looked at the structural integrity of motor vehicles to see, in the event of an accident, how many lives can be saved. Purely because a lot of the cars we drive go through great integrity tests and have airbags and so forth. What about our public service vehicles? Do they have roll cages and are they stable? Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to stand here again and just confirm to this House that your individual support and steadfastness as we move together, lead us to protect this great nation. I want to part by saying, God bless Kenya, God bless our President and Deputy President as they lead the nation towards the implementation of a great vision that is to take what our forefathers envisioned; that we shall take leadership globally. Remember, there is no one too rich that they cannot receive, nor too poor that they cannot give. Thank you and God bless you."
