    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My name is Nimrod Mbai. I represent Kitui East Constituency as a Member of Parliament. First and foremost, allow me to thank the Almighty God for getting us this far and giving me a chance to serve the people of Kitui East. Secondly, I would like to take this opportunity to thank and congratulate the people of Kitui East for electing me as their Member of Parliament. I am so grateful for that and it is an honour that I will always keep close to my heart. Allow me to also congratulate you, the Chair and the Speaker for being elected. Congratulations for that. I would like to go straight to the President’s Speech which highlighted a few issues. First and foremost, is to highlight the fact that our President has been prepared by God to lead this country. The President has been severally tried and tested and stood the test of time and that shows he can rule the country. We saw it and he quoted it in his Speech that the fidelity of the Constitution is very fundamental. He did it when he heeded to summons to appear before the International Criminal Court (ICC). He has done it again because he has heeded to the fact that the Supreme Court nullified his election after being elected by a majority vote by Kenyans. This has never been done by any other man in Africa and he has done it. This is a way of God revealing to us that this is a man who is preparing for the job before him. As my younger brother has noted, in the fourth paragraph of the President’s Speech, it was very clear that he appreciates the fact that we have young men and women elected by the people of Kenya to represent constituencies in this House. We have our youngest brothers. The The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
