Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In the Senate of the United States of America (USA) where we borrow a lot from, even the chairs are measured, such that the entire Senate people are equal. There is neither a tall or short person. It is the principle. May I emphasize from the very beginning that all counties are equal in this Senate. So, when choosing students, let us not be told that these are the best students and so, we pick from Nairobi, Mombasa and Kisumu counties. What about Tana River County? We want to see equality in this House ...
