    "content": "continental parliament that there is something that we can be proud of; a way of doing business, alignment of both oversight and representation and just general alignment, where we find African parliaments have the same voice and are pulling in the same direction. With those few remarks, I welcome them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, to our County Assembly Members from Kisumu, I encourage them. As the party leader of Ford-Kenya has said, as the primary “oversighters”, we need to see a lot of work that could have been done on the local level not coming to the Senate. For instance, in our County Assemblies, there is so much that could be done, but everybody is now coming with petitions to the Senate when all these matters could have been attended to at the local level, instead of coming all the way to the County Public Accounts and Investment Committee (CPAIC). I hope that we will not have a situation where the only checks and balance is the Senate, to the point where it becomes the enemy of the people or the Governors. I welcome them and look forward to this house working with both Intercontinental House and the local Assembly, of which we are partners. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you."
