"content": "Initially, there was a feeling that Baringo was misled but ultimately when the High Court of the Republic, the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court declared BBI unconstitutional, it became clear that Baringo County Assembly was right and was counted when history of this country was made. I am happy with today’s leadership. The Majority Leader then is still the Majority Leader this time round. The Deputy Speaker of Baringo County hon. Kimosop and hon. Lawi, was a Member of the Assembly and today is the Deputy Speaker. I do not want to mention all their names because time is limited. We are proud. I am personally happy that my county was able to lead the country in refusing to force down the throats of Kenyans the unconstitutional BBI. As we move forward today as a country, we are happy as a county that we made our statement. If you read the Constitution, the Senate is supposed to look at the interests of counties and the county governments. The County Assembly is in the front line of doing the oversight. Therefore, as they visit here, I am confident that they will learn a lot from this House under your leadership. They are now able to see some of the Members they have been reading, perhaps in the dailies."
