    "content": "working together. I am not going to say goodbye because I am now going to now sit in another side of my devolution and defend the Senate with everything i have. This is because I have seen the struggle we have gone through. These Clerks of ours, the SAA, the people who have been working with us in the Committees have been crying with us and celebrating with us. They have been walking with us when we go Court to challenge some of the things that our sister House has been doing to us. So, I feel extremely privileged. I never thought that I would have to say goodbye and leave this House and go to another one. I think the public and the cause for defending this Country is greater than our personal endeavors. I have left my personal endeavors to pursue public causes. I hope that the decision to do so is going to help the people of Makueni to achieve better in devolution. There have been good moments and bad moments. We have clashed. At the end, this has been to the greater good of this House and to devolution. It has been a privilege to serve with Sen. Khaniri, who did not treat us like ‘ monos ’ in spite of being our senior by far. Instead, he has been training us on Standing Orders. I want to disclose that I used to leave very early in the morning to watch Sen. Wako’s vehicle. He had a Mercedes Benz -AG1. It was a privilege to serve with him in the Senate. I sat in court with Sen. Orengo when I was 18 years old as an intern. It is a privilege to sit in leadership with Sen. Orengo. I went to the National Assembly when hon. Mwangi Githiomi was the Chairperson of Public Investment Committee (PIC). In that PIC Committee sat none other than Senator (Dr.) Ochillo Ayacko. These two gentlemen gave my late father a rough time."
