"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Let me also take this opportunity to welcome the delegation from the United States of America to Kenya. I take cue from my senior, Sen. Khaniri. I am also a product of the United States of America schooling system. I went to school in City University of New York (CUNY). I then moved to a little school known as Biola University in Orange County, Southern California. I lived in the USA for quite a bit. I also worked there as a church minister at the Brown Baptist Church situated in Brooklyn, New York. We welcome you. It is unusual to find this House empty. People are outside there trying to defend their seats. Some of them are running for governor and others want to come back here and, therefore, we are representing them. We want to assure you that Kenya is a very peaceful country. Do not head back to the United States of America by the end of your visit here, without visiting the Maasai Mara and the beach along the coast of Mombasa, which has white sand. You will enjoy. The hospitality in Kenya is great. We are great people. We pride ourselves as the most welcoming people in the entire Sub-Saharan Africa. Pray for this nation that the coming General Elections will be peaceful. We are looking forward to have a winner declared without any hitch. We pray for a good transition, just like in the United States of America. That will be one of the best ever elections in Africa. It will be the first time that this country will remain peaceful after the General Elections. We believe that our relationship with the United States of America will continue to have good ties. You are here as ambassadors representing the people of United States of America. As the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations, I highly welcome you."
