    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity once again. I want to congratulate you on your re-election to lead the 12th Parliament. I also want to take this opportunity to once again thank the people of Runyenjes Constituency for giving me an opportunity to serve them in the 12th Parliament. I also want to congratulate Hon. Cecily Mbarire, who is my predecessor. Runyenjes is one of the few constituencies that have two MPs. I want to believe that it is an opportunity for us to combine her experience and the energy that we have to serve the people of Kenya and of Runyenjes. I want to go back to the President’s Speech. The Speech was short, precise and focused. It was focused on bringing unity and reconciling the people of Kenya. One thing that we need so importantly in this country is the unity and reconciliation that the President talked about. The other thing that I noted about the Speech was that it had everything to do with Kenya and not the President. That portrayed the President as a selfless leader and a person willing to do everything he can to ensure that the country moves on well. The other bit is that the President’s Speech dwelt on the youth and the women of this country. I want to thank the people of Kenya for believing in the young people and for investing in them. it is my hope and prayer that this Parliament will be very proactive in passing laws and policies that will help solve the problems that are being faced by the youth of this country; it will pass laws that will help the young people not just get jobs but also be at a position to create jobs for themselves and for the rest of the young people. I also want to pass a message to the NASA Coalition. You realise that in the recent days and months, the coalition has been threatening and issuing statements that are not doing this country any good. The people of this country spoke in one voice and said that they wanted one Uhuru Kenyatta to be the President. What we are witnessing now is that there is uncertainty when the NASA Coalition says that they will not have elections.
