    "content": "I also want to take this opportunity to congratulate you for having come back as the Speaker of the 12th Parliament. You really deserve it because it was out of your good work in the 11th Pfarliament that Members had confidence in you. I would not want to leave that subject before congratulating my colleague Hon. Cheboi for being elected as the Deputy Speaker. Above all, allow me to thank the good people of Ikolomani for having brought me back to this House. It is historic that the people of Ikolomani, under the circumstances I vied, that is, on a party which is not popular in that region, elected me. I have learnt a few lessons. The Kenyan voter is wiser and knowledgeable now. Whatever one decides to do, the voter will still choose wisely. They chose the President because Uhuru has liberated them from darkness. Uhuru has liberated them from poverty because we can now see good infrastructure in our areas. For the very first time, we have tarmac in Ikolomani. We have people who never believed they will have electricity. They have got free connection to the national grid."
