    "content": "area and this would help our people. It will improve our economy. We have a big problem of unemployment in that area. I am sure the youth will benefit. Having said so, I would like to make my maiden speech. I take this opportunity to thank those who made it possible for me to be a Member of this august House. I thank God that He made it possible for me to be here. The Bible says that if God does not build a house, the builders do it in vain. In the making of Edith Nyenze, God was involved, and I thank Him. I also take this opportunity to thank the great people of Kitui West, who elected me in the by-election that was as a result of the passing on of my late husband, Hon. Francis Mwanzia Nyenze. I thank them for the trust they have in me. I also thank you, hon. Members, for your contribution during my husband’s burial. You did so much by showing so much love. Your contribution and visits were of great importance. That helped the family and supported his burial. I thank you so much for the support. I also thank you, hon. Members, for welcoming me to this august House. You have been very friendly this one week I have been around. I am so grateful. This shows how much you loved him. I sincerely thank you. I also thank my party leader, Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, for the support he gave during my campaigns, together with the other principals of NASA. I will not forget to thank all my supporters who stood with me in the campaigns. They are many of them. What will I do for the people of Kitui West? I have been elected through a by-election and my political mentor was my husband. The people of Kitui West loved him and he had initiated so many projects in Kitui West. The people elected me so that I can complete those projects. The people of Kitui West elected me to complete these projects. I promise to do my best and continue with them as I said during my campaigns. I promise to be honest and truthful because that is why they trusted me. I want to tell my opponents that the deal is sealed. The Member of Parliament for Kitui West is Edith Nyenze. Please, let us work together. I am sure you had an agenda for Kitui West and I invite you to develop the constituency with me."
