    "content": "from various parties. If some of you do not know, I am one of the members who were elected through the Kenya African National Union (KANU) party. I am so glad. I only pray to God that He may give me “Solomonic” wisdom so that I may serve as I had promised to deliver to the people of Baringo. I want to go back to the Speech of the President. I applaud the President for taking the issue of security seriously in his Speech. In summary, the President was actually putting everything into peace, love and unity, which actually happens to be a slogan in my party. It is true that the people of Kenya do not feed on all the things we talk about. They feed on peace. It is the responsibility of the Members of this House, from both the Government and the Opposition sides, to preach peace every time they have an opportunity to so, so that our people can carry on with their ordinary life. Yesterday, I wondered whether the absence of the Judiciary in this House had any relationship with the absence of NASA Members of Parliament. I want to get it clear because I think the Judiciary is an independent body that does not have any relationship with political parties. I want to believe that there was no relationship. The President talked so much and recognised women, people with disabilities and young people. I urge the women hon. Members that we do not become happy for only having been recognised but we go ahead and work for the President to get more votes and get back to office so that he may continue recognising us and giving us better placements in future. We have the duty of working for him to get as many votes as possible. As regards the goings-on at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), as my colleague from West Pokot had mentioned, there is an official from Baringo County who has been affected. Her name is Immaculate Kassait. Kindly, she is a rare species from Baringo County that happens to be in national leadership. As a person and a woman in leadership in Baringo County, I feel slightly weak when one of my fellow women in leadership, who would have helped me in delivering social issues of women in Baringo, particularly in Tiaty Constituency, is suspended. I urge and pray that she resumes her duties. May God bless this House as we continue."
