    "content": "presidency. To win the presidency, we will need to have an avenue of delivering to the people of Lari, Wajir, Mombasa and other parts of Kenya. The President said that we must sow the seed of love among our people. From Mombasa to Malaba he said, we speak different languages, but we must all love Kenya. If we love Kenya, then let us love one another. Even in this House, you should not say that Kiambu is near the President’s House and fail to give Members from Kiambu a chance to speak. I have not seen any Member from Kiambu speak in this Chamber the whole day. That amounts to discriminating us. We also need to get a chance to speak just like Members from other areas like Mandera and others. For instance, all Members from Meru have spoken, but Members from Kiambu have not been given a chance to speak. We also need development in our areas. We need water. We are within catchment areas. We also need roads. All these developments will come through delivering the Jubilee manifesto. What I urge all Members to do is to continue working hard for the President. We need him back because we need this Government. We need this Government so that we can deliver the President’s legacy. I am sure his legacy will be our legacy. We may be lucky in the 12th Parliament to deliver our development agenda. A lot of development in this country may come to fruition. I once again thank the people of Lari for believing in me. I know they have so much trust and faith in me. What I ask is God’s guidance. Pray for this country, the House and pray for me. I congratulate the leadership of the House, namely, the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker. I also congratulate all the other Members for being elected in their respective constituencies. God bless you and God bless our country."
