    "content": "Deputy Speaker of this honourable House. I also want to thank my political party, Jubilee, for giving me this opportunity to be in this honourable House and serve as a Nominated Senator from Nairobi. I also want to congratulate my fellow Senators, both the elected and nominated. The President, in his Speech, reiterated the supremacy of the Constitution. He vowed to protect it and showed this by accepting the ruling of the Supreme Court. Therefore, the independence of the Supreme Court is guaranteed. He also emphasized the need for us to love each other and the country despite our diversity. He noted that diversity is well represented both in the National Assembly and the Senate. The President also noted the great steps taken by women in leadership. I want to congratulate the Jubilee Coalition for giving women a level playing ground. It is only in Jubilee Coalition where we have three women elected as Senators and two women elected as Governors. The President also noted the election of young people to leadership positions. This shows that Kenyans are willing to give the youth an opportunity. I am embarrassed to be a youth at this point in time when hon. Babu Owino did what he did. I am also embarrassed to have been in the same university, the University of Nairobi, with him. It is unfortunate. I will echo what the Senator for Embu County said about the boy-child. As the legislature and women of this country, we have to look at the boy-child. We have concentrated and paid so much attention to the girl-child that we have forgotten the boy- child. The President also emphasized on the work in Parliament. He said that Parliament has to constantly remind the executive what the aspirations of the Kenyan people are. He emphasized that the Members of Parliament should bear the true allegiance to the people of Kenya. They should respect and uphold the Constitution. With those few remarks, I support."
