Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I am honoured. A few weeks after being elected, I stood on the Floor of this House and gave my maiden speech. I anticipated serving diligently and conscientiously in the five years that I had been given. I will start by thanking you for the mentorship that some of us who were first-time Members received under your tutelage. We especially benefited from the experience that you have gathered over the years. I thank all the staff who work under you, who have supported us especially in researching and preparing for our sessions in this ...

been chairing the Kenyan Chapter. I proudly report to this House that Kenya got the opportunity to take the seat of the Global Vice-Chairman of the World Scout Parliamentary Union and yours truly currently occupies that position. God-willing, if re-elected, it is a caucus that I would still like to serve in and take it further ahead.

We have had extreme lows. We have lost Members of Parliament, loved ones and had some false starts on some amazing pieces of legislation that would have changed this country. For me, I think one of our worst laws was having Committee Chairpersons and Parliamentary leadership being selected elsewhere other than the precincts of this House by Members of Parliament. I believe this was a false start. I am celebrating the new amended Standing Orders. This is because they will ensure in the next Parliament nobody will be holding the remote control of this House and it shall truly stand ...

I join my colleagues in congratulating this Committee. It has proven in the last five years that there is work that gets done in this Parliament. I would also like to single out the Chairman for what he has done in the last few days and, especially, in the last two weeks while presenting his reports from his Committee; a Committee that has been overworking.

They say that the road to hell is normally paved with good intentions. Green energy is a great intention for this country and it is the future that we would want to walk into. But it is in such mega projects that the evil schemers want to reap what they have never sowed. This Report shows us the anatomy of the making of a white elephant project. This is how they are made. You dream big and invest big initially, but never see through with the project. This is exactly what the Report is telling us.

It is even speaking to the discussion that we shall be having as a country towards 9th August, where we shall be deciding as a country on who we shall elect, whether we shall go with the side that believes in mega capital investments or whether we are going to support a side that believes that this is a country that can be built bottom-up by investing in labour based development that gives work to the people and development that lets people build their country, and puts money in people’s pockets by investing in the talents of Kenyans. If an ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The very youthful Member of Parliament looked around and saw that I am the next most youthful Member of Parliament in the House and he asked me to hold brief for him.
