    "content": "years. I would like to thank my military colleagues and leadership. Having served in the military for close to 29 years, I was prepared for the tasking job of leading the public and being fair, upright and honest and judiciously prosecuting that which is important for both the people of my constituency and this nation. As we exit the 11th Parliament, there are many soldiers deployed across our borders and even far deep inside Somalia. I appreciate the effort of putting their life on the line so that we as the great country of Kenya are secure. I believe this House must rise to the occasion now and into the future that those who put their life on the line, those lives will not be lost in vain. I also would like to thank the Leader of the Majority Party on our side of the divide. I think he has shown an exemplary effort of commitment to drive the Government agenda in this House. Rarely will you see an individual sticking out his neck and his name for what they believe in. I think he has done his job for the Jubilee Government and I hope the great people of Garissa will elect him back to the 12th Parliament. I thank the staff of the National Assembly. As we entered the National Assembly as freshmen, there is a lot we did not know, including even sitting in Committees, and we were not sure how to proceed. Young, bright and very well polished girls and boys were able to guide the proceedings both in this House, in the Committees and we shall be forever grateful to all of them. Finally, as we go to the election, we wish for a peaceful election for this country. Kenya will remain much later after we have gone. I thank you, Hon. Speaker."
