I rise to support this Motion of Adjournment sine die . I have been in this House for seven years, four months and three days. I thank all the colleagues that I found here. When I joined this House on 18th February, 2015, I was accompanied to the Speaker by Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Orengo. Of course, there was a little competition amongst them because Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o also wanted to have the honour of accompanying me to the Speaker but only two Senators were able to do it. I the three Senators and Speaker Ekwee Ethuro, who welcomed me to the Senate on the 18th February, 2015. In those seven years and four months, I have been faithful to the people of Homa Bay, the Constitution and to this House. The three critical functions of a Senator are representation, legislation and oversight."}
