    "content": "(Hon. (Ms.) Halima Yussuf Mucheke): Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. My name is Halima Mucheke from Meru County and I am a nominated Member. I want to take this opportunity to thank His Excellency the President and his Deputy for having found it fit to nominate a Member from Meru County. It is the first time since Independence. We are very lucky because the last time we had a nominated Member was during the time of the late President Jomo Kenyatta. The people of Meru County are very happy because the son of the late President Jomo Kenyatta has done the same thing by nominating a man and a woman from Meru County to the 12th Parliament. I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate the Speaker and yourself. I take this opportunity to congratulate all the Members who have been elected and nominated to this august House. I was very impressed by the President’s Speech. As I stand here, I am an Internally Displaced Person (IDP). I cannot forget the 2007/2008 clashes because my house was burnt down in Turbo. This was all because of politics. So, I do not take it for granted that His Excellency the President was very categorical in stating that peace is paramount and there is no chance for anything less than peace in this country. I also want to take this opportunity to thank this House, on behalf of the people of Meru, for having found it fit to nominate one of us, Hon. Kawira Mwangaza, to the House Business Committee (HBC). Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
