    "content": "I congratulate Hon. Mawathe and Hon. David Ochieng for winning Embakasi South and Ugenya constituency seats, respectively. That shows that the electorate is becoming wiser by day. You cannot sell manifesto or agenda that does not resonate with them. They are now alleging that it is because of “handshake” that they will not be fielding a candidate in Wajir West. However, I am sure they have sensed defeat in the by- election for Wajir West parliamentary seat because Hon. Kolosh is our strong candidate. The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party has now withdrawn their candidate from Wajir West by-election because they know they will not survive another day. Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank the President for affirming the Big Four agenda. We support it and we are solidly behind him, his Deputy President and the Jubilee Government. We urge our brothers who have joined us as a result of the “handshake” to continue praying for us and make checks and balances. They should not forget that they are not the Government, but the Opposition. Therefore, they should assist us in delivering on our mandate. Secondly, I thank the President for recognising Eliud Kipchoge who is one of the marathon maestros. I am proud because we come from the same constituency. Where I come from, everybody is a legend. We have people like Kipchoge Keino, Eliud Kipchoge, Conseslus Kipruto and many other big names."
