    "content": "the opportunity to serve them in the 12th Parliament. Being an independent candidate at the backyard of our beloved Deputy President is not a mean achievement. I want to thank the people of Turbo. I want to promise them that I will serve them diligently without prejudice, and that I shall deliver on the pledges together with them. Back to the President’s Speech, I want to applaud the President. I want to congratulate him for that great Speech. While I listened to him speaking, I thought that was a Speech of a great leader. I thought he was a patriotic leader, and indeed he is. We should emulate him. The President gave a very vibrant Speech, and I realised that he had the nation at heart. He is a great statesman. He touched on areas that are key. He was able to recognise, and he is keen on maintaining the peace and stability of this nation. I realised it is at the bottom of his heart. He wants peace, and he desires stability for the people of this country. Hence, he is creating an enabling environment for us to deliver on the pledges that we made to our constituents. He also managed to recognise the leadership of the women and the youth. He recognised the fact that we still need to do more to bring the number of women that is required. Therefore, I challenge the women out there to go for elective positions because we would not want this House to be challenged again in terms of complying with the one-third gender rule. The President recognised the leadership of the youth. I remember him saying that it is their responsibility for the aspirations of employment and service delivery. It actually represents that. I am humbled that our President is a respecter of the Constitution. He recognises the importance and the supremacy of the Constitution of Kenya. That is why despite the fact that the Supreme Court ruling was done as it was, he disagreed with it but respected the rule of law. That tells us he is a respecter of the Constitution."
