    "content": " Thank you very much. Before I make my maiden speech today, first and foremost, I would like to support the Motion of the Chairperson’s Panel. Looking at this critically, it seems like various parties have been recognised in the panel. I can see the Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) is well-represented and many others. Gender balance has been recognised. I wish to support that. I will continue to make my maiden speech in this august House. I wish to thank the people of Wajir East. I have tried a number of times to be here to give a voice to them and I thank them for having recognised and supported me during the last election. I would like to thank the great men and women, the youth and the professionals who have gathered and seen the talent to represent them in this august House. I assure them that their support will not be in vain. I will be a voice for the women who have no names and those who struggled along the way to give me their support to win the elections on 8th August this year. I will articulate youths’ agenda in this platform in order to alleviate poverty and make sure there is equity in resource allocation for the youths, women and the elderly. I will use this platform equally to make sure that the national Government is able to apportion development agenda in Wajir, particularly Wajir East, so that we can be at per with the rest of Kenya. I will also use this platform to make sure that the youth get secure employment because this has been a nagging issue. The unemployed youth who have completed schooling are very many. I will use this platform to make sure that they are placed properly in the various sectors of the Government so that they can get secure employment. I will make sure that there is equity and fairness for the marginalised people of northern Kenya."
