    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to thank you for this opportunity to say a word at the end of this session or rather this Parliament. I want to thank my colleagues with whom we have served this nation during this parliamentary term. We have had a lot to share together, particularly so with the Budget and Appropriations Committee, the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology and the Departmental Committee on Health, in which I had a chance to serve at various times. As we come to the end of this Parliament and go out there to continue with our campaigns for those of us who are seeking re-election, I want to challenge all my colleagues who are going for re-election to commit themselves to a peaceful electoral process. Lately, when you watch television and listen to radios, a few of the leaders of this country sometimes make remarks that border on reckless. But I want to say that this country belongs to all of us. We do not have any other country and we have a responsibility and duty to ensure that we keep this country beyond any election. As you may well be aware, this nation has seen a lot in the past after elections. We want to pray and join everyone in supporting peaceful electoral process. Lastly, I want to thank the great people of Awendo for giving me the opportunity to serve them during the last four-and-a-half years. I still believe that owing to how far we have come, they will give me another chance to serve them in the same capacity."
