    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My name is Antony Kiai, also known as “highflyer.” I represent Mukurweini Constituency. First and foremost, I want to thank the people of Mukurweini for electing me as their Member of Parliament. I want to assure them that they made the right choice. I am going to do that with all my heart and to the best of my ability. I also want to congratulate all the Members of this National Assembly for their hard-fought victory. I also want to thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance and also congratulate you for winning the seat of the Deputy Speaker. Looking at the Presidential Speech, I see a statesman who, in the midst of a turmoil, calls for peace. He requests every Member of the National Assembly to ensure that there is peace. This cuts across both divides of the House; to make sure that wherever we are, we preach peace and do our business in peace. Looking at the Speech again, I isolate two or three things. Firstly, the President has created an enabling environment for both young people and women. It is because of this that we have seen very many young people win elections in their respective constituencies. This encourages young people to go out there, take up the challenge and show off their leadership prowess. It tells women to take their rightful places in the arena of leadership. I also want to thank the President for taking the route that very few people would have taken. He has taken the route of fidelity to the rule of law. He had a choice not to follow that route, but he chose the road that is less travelled. He decided that it is only by obeying court orders that this country can remain at peace. I want to tell our brothers in the Opposition that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
