    "content": "I do not know how many Members of the Senate are aware that our Centre for Parliamentary Studies and Training (CPST) is a leading institution in the region and the entire sub-Saharan Africa that trains parliamentary procedures and practices. Each year, we receive delegations from Zambia, South Africa and other different parts of the region and some from Europe who want to study the practice of democracy in Africa. Therefore, I know that this delegation is in good hands of an experienced and well-trained parliamentary staff. I believe that this is in line with one of our key objectives as an institution, which is to train and pass on the knowledge that we have as a House to the county assemblies. May be in another five to 10 years, the same level of expertise, skill and professionalism that you find in the staff of Parliament will be replicated in our county assemblies through such visits. Therefore, I welcome them, first as a Senator and second, in my capacity as the Chairperson of Staff Welfare in the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). All the staff of Parliament are under my supervision. Therefore, I do not say these words just because I have to say them. It is because I celebrate and appreciate the kind of work that the staff of Parliament do. They deserve all the accolades that I have said. Many of our colleagues will appreciate that they are worth it."
