    "content": " I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Speaker and the Deputy Speaker for having been voted by all of us who believe in you. My name is Hon. Stanley Muthama, Member of Parliament for Lamu West. I also take this opportunity to thank and congratulate all Members who have made it to this august House. In the elections that were held, we believed in the manifesto of our President, who told people that Kenya needs to be united. Our unity is going to be our strength now and in future. We went into campaigns, voted and got the results. I also take this opportunity to congratulate President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta for showing Kenyans what it really means to be a leader. A leader is someone who is not selfish, but courageous and able to be humble when the times to humble come for the sake of the nation. Otherwise, if it was other people from the Opposition, we would be facing a big problem in the country. So, I support and congratulate him. I urge Lamu West people and Lamu County in general to prepare ourselves to do better than what we did. We should get more votes and join the other Kenyans so that we can show all those people who were opposing the will of the people that, indeed, our President Uhuru Muigai Kenyatta will be the one to lead us for the next five years. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would also like to thank the people of Lamu West for having voted for me. Lamu West is a whole Kenya because we have all the tribes and religions. We have Muslims, Christians, Luhyas, Kikuyus, Kambas and everybody else. I thank all of them for showing confidence in me and giving me the opportunity to serve them for the next five years. I encourage them to remain united. The challenges we are facing about insecurity in the area, we are requesting that they are addressed properly so that all the infrastructure projects that are supposed to happen in Lamu can happen on time. Thank you."
