    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I would like to congratulate all the Members for having been re-elected, elected and nominated. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the people of Kangundo for having seen me as the best candidate to come and represent them in the 12th Parliament. I came here via a small party called Muungano. I thank the people because there were other competitors, but they saw I was the best person to come and represent Kangundo. In Kangundo, the youth face unemployment. There are no roads and other infrastructure. That is why I cannot be told by anybody when to come or not come to Parliament - I will come as mandated by this Parliament. Concerning the President’s Speech, I saw a lot of certainty and confidence in terms of upholding the rule of the law. I also saw the President’s respect for the independence of institutions in this country. He, especially, emphasised on the mandate of this House. Having heard the deliberations, I would like to ask the Members of the 12th Parliament to respect this House and carry out their duties in a respectful manner despite their different political affiliations. We have been sent here by our people. I have come here for the first time, but in this House, we have NASA and Jubilee coalitions. The people who are inducting us need to educate the Members on the meaning of the National Assembly and the meaning of being in NASA and Jubilee coalitions. We cannot continue having people in this House who dwell on party sycophancy. I urge all the Members to respect the Kenyan citizens who elected us. Kenyans expect a lot from us, especially in a country where we have a lot of political disagreements in terms of presidential elections. I also urge the Members to go back and carry out their politics with integrity. I also call upon Kenyans to ensure that they do not fail to vote on 17th October. They should ensure that they vote massively for their preferred candidates, so that we can move this country forward."
