    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the Motion for Adjournment. I know we need to be inducted, even those of us who were here before. We have new Standing Orders that we all need to get familiar with. Allow me to also speak a bit to the Speech that was given to us by the President on Tuesday. I recognise the fact that it had many themes; one of which was the sovereignty of the people of this country. It is something that we need to be clear in our minds, in our various places or all the institutions in this country. They need to know that the sovereignty of this nation lies with the people. It is important that this becomes clear in our minds as we go forward because if we do not do that, we will end up with judgements like the one we got from the Supreme Court. Allow me to also thank God because it is his mercy and grace that has made it possible for us to be here. I would also like to thank the President because unlike before, when thanking the people of Kenya for his election, he now starts his statements by thanking God - which is a very good thing. If we also acknowledge the sovereignty of God as a country, we are certainly bound to achieve more. His Speech touched on many issues of development that we in Ndaragwa were keen to follow. I am sure my colleagues here in Parliament will support me as I seek to get some of those things done in Ndaragwa. I am also happy with your election as the Speaker of the 12th Parliament. I take this opportunity to thank you and congratulate you and the entire leadership that we have in Parliament. Let me say something about NASA. I was here during the 10th Parliament and I thank the people of Ndaragwa for allowing me a second time. During the 10th Parliament, Members of ODM were always reminding us that they were the most popular, most populous and the majority party in Parliament then. Tables have turned. Jubilee is now the most popular, most populous and the majority party in this House. They should have the courage to come and articulate their issues. We did it then. The country continued and grew. They should not treat us to shenanigans outside there. It is not useful. It calls for leadership, courage and direction from the NASA leaders to tell their colleagues to come and debate with us in this House. If they have issues to articulate for the nation, it should be done here."
