Muthama","speaker_title":"","speaker":{"id":96,"legal_name":"Johnson Nduya Muthama","slug":"johnson-muthama"},"content":"Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I stand to be guided. These positions should go to the children of the poor who have never been in leadership. When I visit those regions, I can say confidently that I voted for a child from a poor background so he might put food on his table. Let us not select, but elect leaders. My sister Sen. Sijeny, is a lawyer and maybe one day she will be a judge or even a chief justice. I wish her all the best. However, I wonder how her judgements will be because when she stands here she is fighting for gender balancing, but at the same time, she is supporting a candidate who has been handpicked. How does she expect us to support the Gender Bill? I want to tell my sister that she should better be crucified than budge from the truth. I stand for one united Kenya, one community and fair distribution of resources. May God bless this country."}
