    "content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I wish to add my voice to that of the Senate Majority Leader in welcoming our brothers and colleagues who are here today. I particularly welcome the colleagues from the DRC. I have developed a keen interest in what is going on there. I was there seven days before the inauguration of the current President Tshisekedi. I had the opportunity to meet him and also the outgoing President Kabila. I also had the opportunity to meet a number of Members of Parliament (MPs) and party leaders at that time. Together with my President, I attended the actual inauguration. I was pleased with what is going on. So, I have been following. When I see you here, I feel happy. Speaking on my own behalf and my interest in the regional cooperation, I hope that the application of DRC into the East African Community (EAC) will be expedited and successful so that we can have closer collaboration between the Parliament of Kenya and that of the DRC. So, feel welcome. We all belong to the Great Lakes Region and we have a deep interest in having peace because it is only in the environment of peace that we can realize our great potential in economic and social development. So, feel welcome."
