Members of the National Assembly and the Senate, first and foremost, I take this opportunity to thank God for the gift of a great country filled with the bounty that we need, as well as continued peace. I also thank all Kenyans for expressing in a very mature and patient manner their sovereign will during the just concluded general elections. Millions of voters stood in long queues, in the sun and rain, some hungry and thirsty, in their quest to express their democratic choice. I offer to you, all hon. Members, my heartfelt congratulations on being elected to Parliament. Hon. Speakers and hon. Members, by our Constitution and traditions, you represent the sovereign will and aspirations of millions of Kenyans. I wish all of you every success in fulfilling your important national duty in the next five years. I urge you to never forget that we are here representing the Kenyan people who have an urgent need for governance that delivers to them peace, security and prosperity. I also take this opportunity to celebrate the women of Kenya who continue to demonstrate leadership throughout the country. Three women were elected governors while others won positions as Senators, Members of the National Assembly and Members of County Assemblies. One of our women who is handicapped also managed to secure the seat of Women Representative in Kajiado County. Congratulations!"
