    "content": " Thank you for giving me this opportunity. My name is Dr. Daniel Tuitoek from Mogotio Constituency. I would like to thank God for giving me this opportunity to be in this august House and being elected by the people of Mogotio to serve in this House for the next five years. I would also like to congratulate you and the Speaker for being elected to serve us for the next five years. I would also like to recognise and congratulate my fellow Members of Parliament for being elected to serve for the next five years. To touch on the President’s Speech, I would like to note that the President was humble enough to note that the supremacy of the law is to be emphasised in this nation. He noted that he has personally committed to observe the law. He was summoned to a foreign court and the Supreme Court ruled against him.

There was a lot of emphasis on the technology aspect of the election and yet, we all know that in this particular election, what was used to declare all of us winners was really a manual election. It was the manual results which Wanjiku had really decided at the polling station. To nullify the election of the President was really a miscarriage of justice because it was not the technology which should have been considered. It was not the process of transmission which should have really counted, but the vote of Wanjiku which she actually delivered at the polling station. In his Address, he also touched on other aspects of the economy and the importance of the youth and women being included in the decision-making mechanism. It is very important that in this coming session, we look at the welfare of our people. In Mogotio, one of the major issues we are facing is lack of water. I hope in this coming session, we will assist in the issue of provision of water, especially in the semi-arid and arid areas. Mogotio is an area which is both The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
