    "content": "Three months before elections, payment of procurement services should be stopped. On pending Bills, I humbly plead with His Excellency the President to take charge, because people are suffering and yet they delivered services and have not received payment. Legislatures are the operational arms of Government. Therefore, I support the PFM Act to oversee both the national Government and county governments.

You have seen the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR). It is great. It is the greatest gift Uhuru Kenyatta has given to this country. I give my heartfelt congratulations to His Excellency the President. I am humble and loyal to him. I support him fully because he is a great man. He is one of the greatest statesmen that Kenya has been blessed with."
