    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion and take this opportunity to assure Kenyans wherever they are in this country that the energies we used to drive the reform agenda that brought us the new Constitution, we will use them in this House and outside the House to ensure that the new Constitution is implemented. We would like to implement the new Constitution so that peace and stability that it guarantees us is enjoyed by all Kenyans. We would also like to ensure that the opportunity of economic advancement as given by this Constitution is realized by this country. We would like to ensure that the culture of good governance becomes the order of the day in this country so that we see an end to the era of tribal alliances when people want to rise to the top to lead this country. We would like to see an end to the era of corruption which has allowed thieves to sneak and find their way into public office without apologies and use the same proceeds to try and sustain themselves in public. We will make sure that every Kenyan, in equal measure, has an opportunity, whether he is big or small to realise his potential. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank Kenyans for giving us the County of Kakamega. This county is unique in the sense that it is the largest in the country. It is also the most populous rural county in the country. We want to ask the Government to give us an opportunity to develop our tea. We would like to warn the Minister for Agriculture and the Permanent Secretary not to interfere with the development of cane farming in Kakamega County. This county is the only one that is largest producer of sugar in the country. We have Mumias Sugar Company, West Kenya Sugar Company and now Butali Sugar Company. We hope that the Minister for Agriculture will desist from her attempts to close down Butali Sugar Company. We would like the Government to support us develop tourism. Thank you very much, hon. Balala---"
