    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also take this chance to welcome you back. It has been long and we have missed you. I support this Motion of alteration of the Senate calendar because the Devolution Conference is very important to all of us. This is the time where the main stakeholders of devolution; the governors, Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) and ourselves come together to compare notes on what we have done, the challenges that we face and many other things. It is also a very good time for us to get close to the people who elected us. Whenever we get out, like when we were in Kitui, as Senator Wambua has said, we took some few minutes out of our conference to visit projects that are in various parts of the county. So, this is a very important time for us to get closer to the people who elected us. We shall interact with people of Makueni, benchmark on the things that they have done and see the achievements of devolution. I support this Motion that proposes alteration of the Senate calendar because it is by extension the work of the Senate that we get closer to people in those places. I wish the same would go to various parts of the country. I am looking forward to such a time when such an important meeting will come to South Rift, especially to Bomet County so that my people feel the Senate closer to them. I support this Motion. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
