    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank you for giving me this chance to contribute to the Motion before us. I am the Member for Chesumei Constituency in Nandi County. I congratulate you and Hon. Speaker for your re-election as the leadership of this House. We believe in you and hope that you will do a good job because you have done it before. I equally congratulate the Members in this House for getting opportunity to serve Kenyans. I thank the people of Chesumei. It was not easy, but they trusted and believed in me to represent them well in this House. I want to assure them that I am here on their behalf and I will not let them down. I will do my best because that is what the people sent me here to do. For the three sessions that we have had in this House, I have been present. Let this be a lesson to the Opposition that once you have been sent to this House, you are supposed to be here and articulate issues on behalf of your constituents. That is why they elected you. The choice to excel and take this country to the desired destination for the sake of our people is ours. At this point, I appreciate the President who has shown leadership from the time the Supreme Court made the ruling. It has not been very easy for us, as Jubilee. From the time the Supreme Court ruling was made, it has not been very easy for the President and Members of the Jubilee Party. We know very well that we won the elections. If you want to identify leadership qualities in a person, you get to see them better when they are faced with challenges just like what happened with regard to the Supreme Court ruling. At this point, I want to mention that I saw leadership in my President from the time the Supreme Court ruling was given. I have also seen leadership in his yesterday’s Speech. I listened to him keenly and I have gone through that Speech once again. Leadership has been seen in our President. This is the President we require in our country which is still growing.
