    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, First, I would like to thank all of you for allowing me to say one or two things about this list. I want to mention that the reason why the names of Kitutu Chache South Constituency have been brought to the Floor of the House this late is because, as you are aware, I had to go for a by-election which was delayed because we lost one of the candidates, the Jubilee candidate who died. Therefore, as a result, the elections were postponed and they took place in November, 2017. Two, I wanted to also respond in a very subtle manner to what the Leader of the Majority Party said. Even when the law does not require me as a patron to have nominees brought onto this list because of their religious affiliations, I would like to say that it was actually an oversight. I think the reason why Hon. Duale mentioned the issue is because he knows that Kitutu Chache South Constituency, which is basically in Kisii Town, is the area which has got all the three mosques. I promise that we will make sure that we follow up and bring a Muslim in order for us to have fairness and equity.
