    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I thank the great people of Kiminini who elected me to come to this august House. If it were not them, I would not be here today. Whatever has a beginning has an end and they know what I have done for them. In terms of legislation, I have been on the frontline. Despite the fact that I have been in Parliament for the first term, I think I have done very well. I have sponsored many Bills and they have been assented to by the President, notably the Fertiliser Act, the Kenya National Examinations Council (Amendment) Act, the Political Parties Act, the Basic Education Act, the Treaty Ratification Act and many others that are still going through various stages. I have brought a lot of petitions on behalf of my people. It is not only in legislation, but when you come to my Kiminini Constituency, a lot has been noticed in terms of development, particularly on matters of education. We have bought school buses. We have also built storey building because of shortage of land. We have built laboratories, administration blocks and roads. When it comes to the issue of security, we have particularly done chiefs’ offices and police stations. I want to tell my people of Kiminini that I will never let them down. As we close, I wish my colleagues who are going through the primaries the best."
