    "content": "Sen. Khaniri is pleading a case, that since he knows that Sen. Cheruiyot and I will be coming back in September, we should just let them speak because they are going away. Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to give my final speech for this session of Parliament. I will begin by most sincerely thanking the Almighty God for the opportunity to serve in the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. I want to thank my God for the gift of life, good health, sound mind and the wisdom to lead the people of Kitui County. To that God that I serve, I give all the glory. I also take this opportunity to really thank my family. My wife, my son, my dad, my mom, my sisters, my brothers and the entire Wambua family for the support that they have continued to accord me in my service as a Senator for Kitui county. To the people of Kitui County, I am grateful for the privilege to serve you. For their relentless support that they have given to me, the decision on the 8th August 2017 to overwhelmingly vote for me as their Senator, I say thank you as I look forward to a re- election on 9th of August this year. I wish Speaker hon. Kenneth Lusaka was here. However, through you Madam Deputy Speaker, on my own behalf and on behalf of the great people of Kitui County, I most sincerely thank hon. Kenneth Lusaka for a very personal and intimate relationship and friendship that he created with the people of Kitui County. Immediately I was elected Senator in December of 2017, Speaker Kenneth Lusaka came over to Kitui at Nguni to preside over the first ever goat auction in Kitui County. The leadership of that area made him the patron of the annual event. In December 2018, he came back for the same auction. Early in the same year in October, he was in Kitui to officially open the County Assembly Building of Kitui County. You would remember that on September, 2019, Speaker Kenneth Lusaka led the entire Senate of the Republic of Kenya to Kitui County for a whole week of Senate Mashinani. The people of Kitui County are grateful for that service. I thank my colleagues and especially three committees that I have served in for the five years I have been Senator. That is the Committee on Roads and Transportation led by Sen. Wamatangi and the many visits they have made to Kitui especially on pursuit of compensation for persons affected by the project of the road running from Kibwezi-"
