    "content": "Some of us felt orphaned. We were abandoned by our neighbouring counties. We once thought that we will never win the battle without our neighbours. However, our seven brothers came in and lived with the biblical verse that says, “Love your neighbour as you love yourself.” They came to the rescue of Nyamira and the larger Gusii region. Madam Temporary Speaker, as at that time, the only region that was gaining in the entire Gusii region was Kisii County that was going to get Kshs226 million. However, due to this battle that we mounted jointly as Team Kenya, the Gusii Region will gain a total of Kshs1.432 billion. Therefore, this is a big win for the Gusii Region. Going forward, I want to urge my colleagues to be your brother’s keeper; to stand together and not fight for selfish interests, but for the interests of the 47 counties. Everybody is a winner today. My in-laws are winners, the President of this country is a winner and all counties of this country are winners. That should be the spirit. As we go forward, we must do an audit on some of the data that we have in this country. It is unbelievable that in Nyamira County, we are told that between 2009 and 2019, our population increased by only 7,132. That could never be possible. Going forward, we must audit the data that is in our Government offices. I thank Team Kenya and the Senators who stood with us. The people of Nyamira County will forever be grateful. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
