    "content": " I thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have been trying to catch the Speaker’s eye since yesterday. As an immediate former Speaker of Baringo County Assembly, it is not very pleasant to be on the other side. Hon. Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank the great people of Tiaty Constituency, Baringo County, for giving me this chance. For those who do not know, Tiaty Constituency was misrepresented for 15 years by the immediate former Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. I am happy that I am now here to represent their interests properly. Hon. Speaker, in February 1997, I was employed by the Kenya National Assembly as a Hansard Reporter. I sat in that HANSARD Box for a good five years. I resigned to go and study. Again, I was employed for the second time and thereafter I resigned to go and vie and I lost. I am happy that finally I am back where I belong. I kept saying to myself that I belong to Parliament either as an employee or as an employee of the people of Tiaty. Hon. Speaker, I am also greatly humbled and honoured to have been elected as a Member of Parliament through the independence party, the party that brought this country Independence, the one and only party that we all belong, the Kenya African National Union (KANU), ChamaCha Baba na Mama na Watoto."
