    "content": "I also welcome the librarians to Senate of the Republic of Kenya. You come from the county assembly, which is an important arm because it is the parliament of the counties. Capacity building for members of the assembly is very important. When we build capacity, we need to have properly functioning libraries with various reference materials, with periodicals and law books that can enhance the knowledge and scope of the outside world. I do not know how much your county governments facilitate libraries and the importance they are given. However, when you are here, you can influence the decision making in your counties to have proper staff with right materials, so that county assemblies are encouraged to read. The reading culture in the country is very poor. It is only when you read and do research that you get knowledge on how to do things that can help the people. Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I thank you for welcoming them. They should see how the Parliament’s library functions. They can give the proposals to their county assemblies, so that their libraries are improved. This will help the Members of County Assembly (MCAs) to function properly. With those many remarks, I wish to welcome both the teams and our students from USA to Kenya."
