"content": "Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I begin by congratulating Sen. Nyamunga, for coming up with this very good proposal on this Bill, which she has named The County Resource Development Bill (Senate Bills No. 45 of 2021). It is good to have Senators in the House who have gone to school properly. That is why I have issues with proposals that advocate for qualifications of Members of Parliament (MPs) to secondary school and not degree. Looking at this Bill, I have no doubt that the main intention is to advance the lives and wellbeing of the people we represent. I want to begin by congratulating and thanking Sen. Nyamunga for the brain and effort that has gone into the preparation of this Bill. I encourage her that big things that are transformative begin with ideas just like what she has placed before the Senate this morning. If you travel around the world to look at history, this is how big establishments began. By coming together, countries share ideas and form big economic blocs. Even the Airbus started as an idea that was introduced by the French and shared to West Germany and later on the United Kingdom (UK) joined in 1967. Now they are the leading manufacturers of planes. They are ahead of even the Boeing. The idea of encouraging counties to form economic blocs is the way. That is the only way we will form economic entities that will be transformative for our people."
