    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for that opportunity. I beg to support this Motion for Adjournment. We all know that we are headed for another period of campaigns where we are required to join our party leader and his deputy in the campaign trails. We have been holding this Parliament trying to straighten the laws that will make us go to the elections in a free and fair manner. This is the time to add onto their efforts to criss-cross the country and try to gather all the votes that the Jubilee leaders require in order to take this country forward. It is also an opportunity for Jubilee leaders to show our opponents, the NASA coalition, that we do not fear them. We are not out there to fight; we will fight in terms of putting in effort to garner the maximum number of votes for our leaders. Actually, it is also the best time to answer my constituents, Gichugu people, who have been wondering where we are. We have not been seen in the streets and elsewhere. This is the time to show them that we are behind our President in the campaigns and we will re-organise ourselves especially as Kirinyaga people. We will be seen to participate in all that it takes to ensure that we get all the votes that are required for our President to win. Further, this is also an opportunity to answer some questions in respect of development. Now that the Supplementary Budget has already been passed, there is an allocation for the elderly people. I did not have an answer to that issue, but now I do. Very soon, the elderly will be getting their stipend. When that process is well structured, each and every person will benefit from that. I am also happy that there is an allocation for equipment in respect of technical institutes that are being put in place in each and every constituency. My youths in Gichugu will be excited and I will give details and encourage them to venture in that area. We also know that this is the time that we need to forge peaceful agenda. Actually, we need to do peaceful campaigns. This country is bigger than any one of us. We abhor any attempts to bring violence or to destroy people’s property in this country. We urge our opponents, the NASA Coalition, not to move in that direction and to copy the Jubilee leadership in the way they are doing their campaigns. I beg to support this Motion of Adjournment, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Thank you so much."
