    "content": "Somebody said that politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies. That is what many of our politicians, especially our colleagues on the other side are doing. Our attention is taken to different things. Every day we have a new thing or trouble to deal with. It is high time Kenyans focused on what is ahead of us. My request to all politicians, especially the respectable Members in this House, is to take our positions seriously and serve our country in the best possible way. Finally, 17th October 2017 is not far. As we go on the ground to campaign and do other things, we must guide our people. As you know, our people are very sensitive and they need guidance. Let us guide them and be their stewards. If we pass the wrong message, it is very easy for us to set this country on fire. We cannot afford to do so. We need to vote wisely. My request to Kenyans at this time is; let us vote wisely. As you can see, on 8th August, 2017, we elected leaders. On this side of the House, you can see the seriousness in their job. Yesterday we were in the National Assembly for the official opening of Parliament. Today we are here debating this speech. We are not wasting our resources. Kenyans have trusted us with the responsibility to deliver. As a Christian and a strong believer, I cannot sit home, waste people’s time and expect to be paid. It is good for us all to know that we are stewards. We are stewards of all the resources that God has given us and of the people that God have put in our hands. So, let us earn even the salaries that we will earn in the right way. Let us work for it. Let us give Kenya what it deserves. Let us think of the counties that we represent here. As the common mwananchi, that poor woman who voted for you is waiting for you to deliberate. You are the voice of the voiceless. Let us not waste our time in hotels discussing things, but come here and make decisions that will help Kenya to prosper."
