    "content": "were supposedly gaining at that moment in the formula that was presented, who thought that it was possible to defend Kenya and still benefit Elgeyo-Marakwet County. Although many people are saying you need to fit into father’s shoes, it is also possible for you to establish your own shoes. Establish your own legacy, learn from the mistakes of your father, but also emulate the many positive attributes that he had, so that you can establish yourself as a leader at your own right. You only have 16 months before you face another election. You came here, not because people sat down and agreed that you will be the Senator of Garissa County. It is because you could not find a challenger. Otherwise, if you had a challenger, I still believe you would win. It is good to have a competition. I doubt if you will come here unopposed next year. You have an opportunity now to establish yourself for the shortest period of time. Leave a lasting legacy. Thankful, you will not be the only one. Sen. Cheruiyot came around the same time last term and a few more Senators who have served here less than 15 months and were re-elected. I believe that in these 15 months, you will leave a lasting legacy that will ensure that me and you will come back in the next term. Perhaps, you will play even a bigger role in the next Senate. Lastly, on matters BBI, there were things your father was concerned about inside the BBI Report. I want you to have a conversation with a few of us, including Sen. (Dr.) Ali from Wajir, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., and participate in shaping the BBI Report that is coming before we can be told to pass it in a manner that is going to benefit all Kenyans and protect all Kenyans, primarily the people of Garissa and the marginalized counties. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to congratulate Sen. Haji Abdulkadir Mohamed and welcome him to this House. We will work together on behalf of all hustlers and the hustler nation. You are welcome to the Senate."
