    "content": ". It was like a song.” I found him singing. It was very interesting. I want to go directly to the President’s Speech and congratulate him for also being voted overwhelmingly on 8th August as our President. There is no doubt about it. Even in Gilgil, we gave him an overwhelming support of over 60,000 votes. We are ready even for another election. I will pick on a few things that the President touched on and one of them is the sovereignty of the people. Article 1of the Constitution is very clear. This must go even to the Opposition Members. The responsibility, mandate and power they boast of and walk around boasting as Members is delegated power by the people. We must realise that. We must execute our duties in this House with diligence knowing that we are not only answerable to God, but also to the people who elected us. It is unfortunate for the cantankerous behaviour and the shenanigans we were treated to during the swearing in. They did not even attend the session of this House. It was very unfortunate. I hope, just as the President said, that the moment one takes that oath and does not come to the opening ceremony of Parliament, it is a shame and should be condemned. It is unfortunate they could just come in when we were debating the motion on House Business Committee and they want to be in it and at the same time remain out. They want to hold this country on a leash so that we cannot move. Whenever you make a step, you are pulled back. I think we have sent the message very clearly that we are here to serve the people of Kenya. We will not entertain them.
