    "content": "and rubber-stamping efforts of political party leaders… When you come to Parliament, your role is very simple and it is defined in the Constitution. You come here to legislate or make laws and approve names of nominees to various positions. These fellows just walked out of the Chamber. They are simply telling Kenyans that they are themselves the biggest rubber-stamps because they cannot even tell what their constitutional mandate is. Finally, I want to take this opportunity to encourage my fellow Kenyans. It is good to give them hope on such a day because they are tired of politics. I give them hope that politics has come to an end. The only politics you will hear from the 12th Parliament is about agriculture, roads, affordable health care, the fight against the killer disease called cancer, working together with our governors and Members of the County Assemblies and Senators. We need to be realistic and strive to make a difference. Come the year 2022, William Ruto, a son from the Kalenjin community, will face no opposition. Those who dare to come in between the agenda of Jubilee and the President William Ruto in 2022, we will deal with them like we dealt with NASA in Laikipia. I want to thank our Members for remaining firm and allowing themselves to be above reproach for attending Committee sittings and faithfully showing up for parliamentary sessions. We are telling Kenyans who are lost in the Opposition to join the Government because this is a food basket and there is everything they require there. For you who are not yet convinced, we are coming after you. We will preach and convert you and also bring you to the Government side so that you can enjoy the privileges which the Jubilee Government is offering. Let Kenyans know that we are not rubber-stamps. We are learned fellows and so the Cabinet list before us this afternoon is going to be passed without tibim so that kazi iendelee ."
