"content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. Considering that this is my Maiden Speech, I take this opportunity to congratulate you together with the Deputy Speaker that has been elected. I also congratulate the Senators who have been sworn in just before the election of the Speaker and Deputy Speaker. I also appreciate our colleagues who were on the other side, who supported you and chose to vote you in together with the Deputy Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having worked with you for the last 10 years in devolution as pioneer governors, there has never been a better time to expect renewed support for devolution from the Senate. The Senators have done very well. You, Governor Emeritus of Uasin Gishu County, Sen. Mandago and I have served two terms as governors. With clear understanding of first-hand experience on devolution and Senate with its important role of supporting devolution, we have new hope that devolution is going to achieve even better than before. Some time back, in an informal meeting somewhere, I said that the era of legislating for posterity will get a boost with you being elected as the Speaker of this Senate. Congratulations! I look forward to strengthening devolution."
