Tobiko","speaker_title":"","speaker":null,"content":"Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to welcome the delegation from Baringo County Assembly to the Senate. I know that Baringo is an ASAL county like Kajiado County. So, they may be going through the effects of the current drought. I am sure that they will join us to urge the President to declare the current drought a national disaster. I congratulate the team from Baringo for being elected and for electing Sen. Cheptumo who served with me in the National Assembly in the 11th and 12th Parliament. I know he is able and will definitely take Baringo county to the next level. More importantly, I associate myself with Baringo County. This is because it is in Baringo that the political seed was planted in me."}
