    "content": " Thank you so much, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to address this honourable House. I am Hon. Joseph Tonui, Member for Kuresoi South. First and foremost, let me take this opportunity to thank the great people of Kuresoi South for electing me as their Member of Parliament. I want to assure them that I will work extra hard to fulfil what I promised them. I want to assure them that I will make Kuresoi South great and strong. I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate you on being elected as Deputy Speaker. You really deserve that position. In absentia, I want to take this opportunity to congratulate the House Speaker, Hon. Justin Muturi, for being elected. I also congratulate my colleagues. Coming back to the President’s Speech, I want to congratulate His Excellency the President for giving us a very powerful and unifying Speech. I thank God that we have that type of a President. He proved to us that he is down to earth. He proved to us that he is concerned about the wellbeing of the people of this country. I want to thank him for giving us direction. In his Speech, he touched on devolution, which is very key. He also thanked the Kenyan people for coming out in large numbers to vote. I want to predict here that come the 17th of next month, Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta will be voted for the third time as the President of Kenya. There is only one area which was skipped in his Speech, which I want to put on record. I was waiting anxiously to hear about the issue of IDPs in some parts of our country. In Kuresoi South, for example, I have three IDP camps in Kurbanyat, Kipkongor and Itare. I have a strong feeling, and you are also aware, that this is an issue which needs to be addressed once and for all. Otherwise, Hon. Deputy Speaker, I thank you so much once again for this chance."
