    "content": "now been revived. A number of things came to mind at that time and they touched on Petitions. I thank this House and the Committee on Roads and Transportation because they went ahead to deal with a Petition that had to do with compensation for families that had sacrificed their land for a bypass that connects Uasin Gishu – Kakamega and beyond. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we also met farmers on the investigations of the maize issue. This House has done a great job. Even as I thank the people of Uasin Gishu, I cannot forget to thank this Senate for their great participation and the contribution that they have had. My impact on Uasin Gishu has come from that. I thank the Committee on Finance and Budget on the issue of blocking the buying of the National Bank Building. It has become a landmark in Uasin Gishu. This Senate stopped extravagance in the County Government of Uasin Gishu that was about to buy that building at double the price. I wish my colleagues well, the Members who are going to come back to the Senate as well as those who will become governors. I ask those that will become governors to make a difference in that level, to become more accountable and have an impact on the ground. We owe to this nation and we owe it to our people. Finally, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you. I have served under you, first in the panel and now as your Deputy. You are a great leader. I appreciate the way we have worked with you in the Speaker’s Panel. You have been a considerate Speaker and a nice teacher to all of us. You have guided us well and we have done well. I wish you well, Mr. Speaker, Sir and my colleagues too. I believe we are going to meet in various capacities. Let us not forget that we became a family in the 12th Parliament. It has been great. May God bless all of you. I thank you."
