    "content": "I just want to echo the remarks of Hon. Ken Okoth. I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Hon. Ken Okoth of Kibra together with Hon. Osele, Hon. George Theuri and Hon. Stephen Kariuki. Those are four Members out of the top five best performing in the NG- CDF last year. It is important to note that four out five of those who performed well are Members of my Kenya Young Parliamentarians Association. They are all Members who, at the time of election were youthful. So, I would like to congratulate them and I hope it is a reflection of our leadership as young people. We hope in the next elections Kenyans will be able to vote in many more of such vibrant and young legislators. Number one in Central Kenya was Wakape, my good friend. Hon. Speaker, as I finish I would like to urge Members that even as we go for elections, let us remember the principles and the tenets that hold our democracy together. Let us not raise political tensions as we have been seeing across the country. We know it is a time of much realignment and people are free to move wherever they want to move. Let us remember that we have one country, you will either win or lose your elections. It is not a matter of life and death. We would like to urge our brother, Hon. Ken Okoth; we saw what is happening in his constituency. He is welcome to Jubilee; we will give him a ticket. We know it might be tough, but we know that the will of the people will always be stronger than any anointed leader. So, we wish you all the best my brother. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
