    "content": "Parliament, we hope that county Members of Parliament traverse wider areas. As we look at facilitation of Members, there might be need to look at the issue of those who cover more than one constituency. I want to thank the people of Nyeri for having represented them here successfully on many of the fronts that I have covered especially on health, education, water and the National Government Affirmative Action Fund. I want to appeal to the people of Nyeri to retain me as their Mama County and women’s representative because there is still more work to be done on coffee and tea, land issues and colonial villages in my home county of Nyeri. We have some incomplete projects. The county formula is a matter that needs to be addressed, for example in my county. The youth issues still need redress. In particular, we need to consider a Men’s Fund or a Biashara Fund, which does not discriminate against men and an Innovation Fund that allows young people who are individuals to apply. Health issues remain pending for the next Parliament but the prayer for all of us is to come back. Kenya should retain its best and active legislators. It is sad that when some of the people go to vote, they think that all the English we speak in Nairobi is not a good idea. Instead of supporting and encouraging us to speak as much English here as we represent our counties--- There needs to be investment in civic education. Bringing in new Members of Parliament every other season may not be the best for this country. I hope that the people of Kenya will retain some of its best brains. I hope that I get retained in that respect. I wish everybody a good time and election. I also wish the country peace."
