    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me take this opportunity to welcome my dear brothers from Ukambani. On behalf of the people of Narok, I thank you for coming to the Senate, to be able to witness, benchmark and learn how we do things here. I do hope that you can use technology to change not only how things are done in the County Assembly of Machakos, but also how to move our people from poverty. We in the Azimio political alliance are proponents of encouraging people to be given small tokens of Kshs6,000 on a monthly basis. If that money is used wisely through technology, they can change how people live their lives. Many people are asking questions as to when we will be able to use technology across the entire 47 counties. I think the people of Machakos can take a leaf from the Senate proceedings, the HANSARD and also borrow from other counties. There are counties such as Mombasa, Makueni and even Nakuru, which are a little bit advanced in terms of technology. When we are able to learn from each other, we are also able to leapfrog. On behalf of the people of Narok, I welcome you. I encourage you to use whatever you learn from here to advise the legislators in Machakos County Assembly to be able to also continue advancing technology among their constituents."
