    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Let me take this opportunity to thank the President for having given me a chance to serve in this House as the Deputy Whip of the Majority Party. I also thank the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Duale, for having given me a chance to serve very well with him. I learnt so much from him. I am glad he continues to be the Leader of the Majority Party because he is able and has what it takes. I will stand firm and will work for the Government because that is the most important thing. I also take this opportunity to thank the Members, especially those on the Jubilee side - which is the Majority side - who are whipped even when they are having a cup of tea and they accept to come here and vote for Government business. Let me also thank Hon. Chris Wamalwa and tell him, please, do not worry. Stay firm. There is no politician who gets to the top the easy way. Setbacks will come and they will make you stronger and even more focused. You now have time to do a lot of your work that you may not have been able to do. I thank him because when we needed to whip Members, he never told me that that was a Government issue and that I should go ahead and do it. We whipped Members together. So, Chris, you are not incompetent. You did a good job. Never doubt yourself. Do not let anybody bring you down. Stay strong. To all Members, let us continue to support the agenda of the Jubilee Government. It is not a personal agenda. It is an agenda for the people of this country. So, I will continue to support it even from where I sit. I thank all of you who really respected me as a leader. We do not have any offices. The offices in which Chris and I sit have been granted to us as Members of Parliament. So, do not worry about that, Hon. Junet. For the cars, you can take them. It is okay. I had a GK car many years before you did and it was taken away one day. That is life. It never stops you from moving on. So, we are good. We stay strong, steadfast and completely committed to the agenda of the Jubilee Government. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
