    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for having your eye on the other end of Kenya; from your end to the other end. I congratulate you and your deputy on being elected Speaker and Deputy Speaker of this House. I also congratulate my colleagues for being elected Senators to be in this House together. I also thank God for the opportunity to have you as my Speaker. You “wrap” me nicely in two ways. One, is the fact that you have served as a governor in a county that is the same as mine, that is marginalized and underdeveloped as compared to the others. Therefore, when I talk about West Pokot and other marginalized counties, I have a Speaker who understands where I come from. Secondly, is the fact that you have served in a marginalized area such as West Pokot and developed the education sector. Therefore, when we talk about devolution that should reach out to areas such as Kilifi, West Pokot, and the others, you easily connect and understand us. My other point is about the level of being either an ‘Upper’ or ‘Lower’ House. When I was a Commissioner in the 10th Parliament, we were tasked with going all over the world and compare the position of different Houses."
