    "content": " Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I take the earliest opportunity to join you and the Senate in welcoming the latest and newest Member, Sen. Abdulkadir Haji, the Senator of Garissa. I congratulate the young Senator whom I had the privilege of working with and knowing, on top of working with his father, the late Sen. Yusuf Haji. I wish him and his family the happiest moment they now have. I thank the people of Garissa, who have shown wisdom in making sure that they do not disrupt progress. They have not known any disruption since they lost their Senator. As soon as he passed on, the young son, who is now Senator and the teams up there, took up the challenge and continued with the activities of the Senator. The people of Garissa never felt a loss in terms of the work that was in progress. Therefore, the coming in of young Sen. Abdulkadir Haji is not a surprise to most of us who know him and the credentials he comes with. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also thank the Members of the Senate who helped. I remember the Deputy Majority Leader working very hard to make sure we have this swearing-in today, and many of the Members who supported that. My only advice to Sen. Abdulkadir Haji is that you are now a full Senator. You should not do anything in half measures. You are the Senator of Garissa, and basically, in your full shoes. There are no more excuses about whether you are now new or inexperienced. We know you can run and do the work that is before you. Just know that you have been elected to the Majority side. You are on the right side of the House."
