00:00 I would like to say that today is a day that God has prepared.
00:04 I would like to say,
00:06 "This is the wrong screen, it is marvelous in my eyes."
00:10 And I believe it is also marvelous in your eyes.
00:13 We have prayed as a church,
00:15 I have prayed a lot as a bishop.
00:18 I have also come with a bishop,
00:19 a bishop that we have been praying with,
00:22 so that God can open my door,
00:24 and give me direction.
00:27 In the time I have been a bishop,
00:30 I was appointed in 2017
00:32 as a woman representative,
00:34 as an independent person.
00:36 I did not have a job.
00:38 In 2022, I joined the church.
00:41 I was party-less.
00:42 And God gave me the position of a bishop,
00:45 while being an independent governor.
00:47 And people have been asking me a lot,
00:49 Governor says,
00:51 "Mom, where are we going in 2027?"
00:54 In 2027, we will get a sign.
00:56 So today, I have come to tell you,
00:59 that the sign is that.
01:01 The sign is that.
01:06 The sign is that.
01:09 And I have brought my friends,
01:11 and there are many that have stayed behind.
01:14 So they are just a few that have come.
01:17 When we wake up tomorrow, we will do a great service.
01:20 So, no more, no less.
01:25 There is nothing to hide about it.
01:28 In 2027, I am a candidate for UDA.
01:31 So I am a great friend of our party leader,
01:40 Dr. William Ruto,
01:45 and his wife, our deputy party leader.
01:48 And I also want to say thank you,
01:50 because your support is very big.
01:52 And in fact, this is the party
01:55 where women belong.
01:57 And this is the party that is running with women.
02:00 So, as a woman, I feel like I am at home,
02:05 and I really want to thank God for that.
02:07 To our friends who are not at home,
02:10 MCS, who have not arrived yet,
02:12 especially those of UDA,
02:15 I, as a mother of children,
02:16 I want to say to you,
02:18 I am asking you to work together.
02:22 All the other members of the Assembly,
02:25 who have joined the party,
02:27 some are in Jubilee,
02:29 some are in other parties,
02:31 as a mother of children,
02:33 I am asking you to work together.
02:36 To all our MPs,
02:41 I know that many of them are UDA members,
02:44 and also to other children,
02:46 like our CSU,
02:48 and all the other children.
02:51 I, as a mother,
02:53 I am asking you to work together.
02:56 This will not help a little.
03:01 For the benefit of Meru County,
03:04 and for our country to continue,
03:06 this will not help.
03:08 I have opened my door,
03:10 and I want to say,
03:12 John, thank you,
03:14 let's work together,
03:16 let's work together,
03:18 to unite Meru,
03:20 to take Meru back.
03:22 God has given us a chance,
03:25 an opportunity,
03:27 a noble job,
03:29 to help the people of Meru.
03:31 And without unity,
03:33 God will not command a blessing.
03:35 The Bible says that Jehovah God commands a blessing,
03:38 where there is unity.
03:40 I am today, and I am God,
03:42 who opened my door to unity.
03:44 I want to tell you,
03:46 the good people are here.
03:48 Let's not go around saying,
03:50 there is a bad person,
03:52 he is not bad.
03:54 We are going to bring peace,
03:56 to unite all of us,
03:58 to embrace peace,
04:00 to tell our people,
04:02 that now, we are one.
04:04 And like our leader said,
04:06 work is work,
04:08 and we must give ourselves a sacrifice
04:10 so that Kenya continues,
04:12 and I pray that like Mama Kiongozi,
04:14 we put everything aside.
04:16 Meru is bigger than any one of us.
04:18 Meru is bigger than any other leader.
04:20 So that is my prayer,
04:24 that we hold hands,
04:26 with our people,
04:28 and we take the house of peace,
04:30 we love all who have stayed at home,
04:32 we say work,
04:34 continue with work, it is work,
04:36 and God will bless the work of our hands.
04:38 So that is what I am saying,
04:40 and I am going to ask Zaid,
04:42 Madam Chairperson of UDA,
04:44 what is your message for today?
04:46 And I say,
04:48 work is work,
04:50 continue with work, it is work.
04:52 (Laughter)
04:54 That is what Meru is saying.
04:56 (Laughter)
04:58 It will continue,
05:00 that is what Meru is saying.
05:02 But now, we are here,
05:04 we say work is work,
05:06 UDA, work is work.
