    "content": "certain positions in the county. People, therefore, go around maiming others in the name of trying to acquire wealth. I would like to thank the Government of Kenya for ensuring that Members of Parliament get the National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF). This Fund has developed our country. Even though we have devolved governments, they have not shown meaningful development like the NG-CDF. I am proud to stand here and say that when an assessment was carried out on how Members have performed in the dispensation of the NG- CDF, I topped. Kimilili Constituency topped and I am happy because the people of Kimilili have appreciated my way of handing the NG-CDF. On that score, I am sure they are ready to bring me back to this House, so that I can continue with my work which I promise to carry out diligently as I have always done. I want to thank the women of this country and especially the Deputy Speaker, Martha Karua, Ngilu and Grace Ogot for coming out gallantly and fighting against the men for various positions in the elections and winning without necessarily calling for favours. I would like to call upon the women of this country not to wait to be given free seats, but to come out and fight for the positions in the elections. I am sure they will win without being given any favours. I am not trying to discourage the women of Kenya from vying for elections, but it is an appeal to them not to wait to get favours and come to this House through special seats. Finally, I would like to thank all Kenyans because up to date, they have continued to show that they want this country to be united and peaceful. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
