Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. First and foremost, because this is the first time I am speaking in this Parliament, and my first time also to be elected, I wish to thank God for the blessings that ensured I got to this House. I wish to thank the people of Teso North in Busia County for electing me. I know they bestowed upon me the respect and the expectations which I carry. I know for sure they elected me because they believed I represent change. I also want to say that for our country and for this House, I believe we were elected because we represented change. That is because out of the previous Parliament, nearly two-thirds are new. It means that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
