    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am thinking about the food and tourism industries and the engagement in itself. The economy of a county will definitely be boosted when the Senate sits there. We need to be prepared for this. It will require a special budget because we do not want to go to one county and then say that we are short of funds to go to the next county. If we do so, the other counties will feel discriminated. I am sure that by the time the Senate Business Committee came up with this, they had thought about the budget that goes alongside it. I am sure that we will be able to implement it. I say this because there have been times when we want to do something as a Committee and we were told that the resources were lean. We do not want to hear that the resources are lean when it comes to sharing this circuit around the counties. If that will happen people will demand to know why we did not go to their counties. On a lighter note, as we were going round the East African Communities (EAC) states, at one point the Speaker of the East Africa Legislative Assembly (EALA) tried to stop the rotation and it became a big issue. Hearing from the people and engaging with them in the counties will become so exciting that stopping it will not be easy. When the Speaker of EALA tried to stop the rotation, she was impeached. She was from Uganda and it was sad, but that is what brought a lot of issues within the Assembly. Let us get prepared for it. The counties should also be ready for it. I am sure that it will be of mutual benefit to the counties and the Senate. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I support."
