    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. From the mood of the House, Hon. Chepkong’a is a very good man who performed very well while he was working as a chairman in this House. We have a problem as politicians, especially Members of Parliament, because once you become a politician, it is like you become unemployable; you cannot be employed elsewhere. There is fear that politicians, even in private companies, will bring politics. So it becomes very difficult to employ a person who was once a politician. I must commend this House for offering employment to our former colleagues. I also want to commend Hon. Chepkut for supporting a competitor. The country normally thinks that when we compete we become total enemies. This sets some precedent that as politicians we may compete but we are not enemies. That should trickle down to the electorate to know that a political competition or contest should not bring enmity among clans, communities or religions. I must also commend the PSC for what they have done in terms of bringing this gadget. It had become very difficult, especially for us PWDs, to carry Order Papers in hard copies all the way from the Table Office to the Chambers. Now that we can access them on the table, you have made our lives as PWDs easy. Being the chairman of PSC, I must commend the work that you have done. I must say thank you. Today, I have learnt that you are very fluent in Kiswahili. I never knew you are that fluent in Kiswahili. From the Kiswahili you spoke a few minutes ago, it is as if you are from the Coast.
