    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I join you, the Hon. Senator for Baringo County and all the other Senators to welcome the Members of the County Assembly of Baringo led by the speaker, to the Senate. I am very proud of Baringo County Assembly for rejecting the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI). They were the minority in Kenya at that time when they rejected that document. Some of us here, in the Senate, were in the minority at that time but we thank God BBI is no longer with us. I know they will learn a lot here, in the Senate. Some of us served in the first assemblies before we came here. I served in the Samburu County Assembly as their first Speaker and I am here today. Baringo is my neighbouring county and I welcome you to learn more from here. When they go back to Baringo, they should play oversight. Some of us are here because we played our oversight role very well. We urge them; the staff and the MCAs, to play their oversight role well so that our people benefit. I also want to state that I presented a Statement here yesterday. That Statement was appreciated and supported by all of us. The Statement is intended to make sure that the implementation of projects such as the LAPSET Project benefits our people; the minority or the ASAL counties. I appreciate the Senator for Baringo County for supporting us and for suggesting that we bring a Motion to establish an ad hoc Committee or a special committee to look into that project so as to make sure that it benefits our people. Thank you."
