    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker for this opportunity. First and foremost, I want to congratulate you for being our Speaker for the second time. It is only your election that has not been petitioned and we are so happy. We are always worried when Jubilee wins because we expect many petitions. After 17th October, we will expect more petitions. I hear that people have already prepared petitions in big volumes. However, I think we will win by a landslide. Hon. Speaker, I stand to tell Kenyans that we have trust in our President. Since he has shown maturity after the verdict of the Supreme Court, shows that he has already won the 17th October, election. He told Kenyans to sustain peace. We need peace in this nation. In Turkana South, we voted for His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta because we need peace. Many people have lost lives including women and children. Since President Kenyatta came to power, people have been saved from that catastrophe of losing lives. We cannot make a mistake to vote for any other President because we are secure and we would like to maintain that security. Hon. Speaker, I really sympathise with the IEBC. I would request that we remember IEBC in prayers. Every time Hon. Raila does not win, he takes his anger to IEBC. The other time, he took his anger to Mr. Kivuitu. Where is Mr. Kivuitu now? He also took his anger to Mr. Hassan who is no longer the Chairman of IEBC. When he did not win again this time round, he turned his anger to Mr. Chiloba. What will he tell Kenyans if he loses in 17th October? Even if we choose other IEBC Commissioners, he will actually take his anger there. For how long will he continue mistreating Kenyans working at IEBC? It is a high time he changed his position so that the people working with IEBC will be rescued from this catastrophe. I request Kenyans to vote Hon. Raila Amollo Odinga out to save Kenyans who are working with IEBC. Otherwise, we will be tired from demonstrating and abusing them. They are also Kenyans. They have children and families and they belong to a certain community. For how long will we continue ruining their names?"
