Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to join you in welcoming students from Kongoi Secondary School.

Thank you Madam Deputy Speaker. Being the last born, I thought I would speak last. I am reminded of the words of my good brother Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., when I came to this House on 29th September 2021. He told me that I am a very young man but I should not let anyone look down upon me. I believe that I have made the incoming governor of Makueni County proud this far.

I thank my parents who really struggled to bring me up. That is ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the other person I want to thank is the President, Mr. Uhuru Kenyatta. He has been a friend, a mentor and my party leader. He is a man I have worked with since my campus days. The first time I met him was in 2009. From then we established a strong bond and he has never shied off from mentoring me. Mr. President wherever you are, I know you are watching, I am very grateful for the opportunity you gave me, I pledge that I will continue to be a faithful and loyal mentee.

To everyone who supported me, who encouraged me, I am forever grateful.
