    "content": "deteriorate to the level of forming gullies. This is a national road linking this country to our neighbouring country of Tanzania. I hope that we will get another opportunity to hold another sitting in one of the county headquarters where we will have to travel by road. That way, we can have a true feel of how Kenyans feel on the state of our roads which have deteriorated and I am sorry to say so. We should also borrow a leaf from what the governors have been doing for the last five years. The Council of Governors (CoG) has been holding the annual CoG conferences where the people get involved. Other than the idea of a 24 hour economy, these meetings have been used to showcase what other counties are doing. In the last meeting that they held, the Governor of Makueni County was applauded as he showcased the kind of growth that his county has experienced. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope that our colleagues in county assemblies will borrow some good practices on the business and dealings of the Senate. Therefore, Madam Temporary, Speaker, this Motion deserves our support. I hope that as my colleague, Sen. Wako, has stated, this is something that will extend to other counties and that it will not be an event that will be applicable only to the sittings in Uasin Gishu County. Finally, Madam Temporary, Speaker, I hope that we shall also use this opportunity, as we go to Uasin Gishu County, to give a true effect on the handshake that we had between His Excellency the President and the Rt. Hon. former Prime Minister. We should use this opportunity to demonstrate to the people that we want to pursue an agenda of unity and nation building, where each and every Kenyan has a sense of belonging in building a nation. We should also build a country where we should not worry about our tribes, but look at ourselves as Kenyans who want to build one nation. I hope that my good friend, Sen. Wamatangi, will be there to shake hands with the people of Uasin Gishu County. While there, he should assure them that after the handshake, we want to move forward as a team and build a strong Kenya that our children and the children that will come after them will be proud of. Madam Temporary, Speaker, with those few remarks, I fully support this Motion."
