    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. First of all, I want to join my colleagues in thanking God for allowing us to be back. We did not hear anything happening to any of us. Secondly, I support the Motion on the membership of the Committee being given a new mandate to continue with the work that they have been doing as the SBC. I do not have a problem with the list because all the Members are equal to the task. They only thing that I would like to urge most of the Members that have been given this opportunity is that we should work and serve with a lot of dedication. I do not doubt it. They have been doing it. They should also look at the work that is before the Senate. The Senate has done a lot of work. The country at large has been looking up to the Senate for legislation and the type of debate we have carried out. I would really urge them to look at the pending Motions and Bills. Personally, I have a Bill. To me, it is very important that we should not come to the end of this year without looking at it again. This is a Bill that once it is passed will go a long way to help the county governments in finding ways of raising their own resources apart from relying on the national Government. As we all know the national Government is overburdened. Looking at our debt situation that is growing by the day, we must look at elsewhere to raise funds. Even as a family, you cannot look at income from employment alone. You must think outside the box and find ways of survival. It is not only that Bill that is important, I believe that there are so many other pending Bills, Petitions, Motions and Statements that are very crucial to this House which are still pending. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would also like to thank you very much because in my view and from where I sit, you have done very well. It is not just as matter of talking because you are here. It cuts across and everybody tells us, even from the other House, that they wish that they were here because of our Speaker. It gives us a lot of joy to know that you are being appreciated.
