    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I take this opportunity to congratulate you on your election as the Speaker. I believe this is a great moment for Kenya. We have got the best Speaker we could get in the Senate today. We looked at the Curriculum Vitaes (CVs), which were presented and I can affirm and endorse you as the right Speaker for this Senate. This Senate has a heavy responsibility towards the whole nation. It has the oversight role over devolution funds and county governments. We are looking forward to a moment when we can optimize the use of county funds and all the devolved funds that are sent to the 47 counties. The only way to realize the bottoms-up economic model through the Kenya Kwanza Coalition Government is through proper optimization of the devolved funds to the counties. I believe you have the capacity to lead that oversight role and ensure that Kenyans will not be disappointed with your tenure. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to the inclusion of women within the leadership of this House, we know you will ensure that all the special interest groups that are represented in this House will feel that they are part of this Senate and its leadership, both at the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC) and also the committee level. Let me not take too much time. I wish you God’s blessings. I know you have the capacity. I have practised law with you in Mombasa County for many years. I knew you as a sharp and brilliant advocate who performed his tasks on time. I know this Senate will do what needs to be done to deliver its mandate under the Constitution. God bless you."
