    "content": "Yesterday, we had a debate on the drought situation in Turkana County. We were able to discuss the issue about LAPSSET Project. In those three months, this House has been able to demonstrate its ability to deal with matters touching on our people. As said again by the Mover, we already passed the additional revenue to our counties. A county such as Baringo receives about Kshs6 billion. That is not enough to deal with the challenges we have in the county in terms of health, Early Childhood Development (ECD) classes, matters of water and so on. Before this House proceeds on recess, it has been able to pass additional revenue to our counties. This would go a long way in supplementing the already allocated Kshs6 billion for Baringo County so that we are able to achieve some of the needs of our people. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this House has again been able to respond to the insecurity and drought situation in the country either through Statements or Motions. So, from where I sit - being a new Member in this House, not in Parliament- I think we have a reason to appreciate this House for the work it has done. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, even yourself, I believe you have done well as a Member of the Speaker’s Panel Chairing our committees and so on. This House has been able to take us through. Something new is also beginning to arise in this House. The anticipated harmonious existence between this House and the National Assembly is something we have witnessed. That is why today, we have been able to pass a Motion where we have a Joint Committee of the National Assembly and of the Senate. These are signs of a progressive and united House as we deal with challenges facing our people. I thank Members for the wonderful performance and I believe that as we go on this recess, we will not stop working. Our work does not stop with this Plenary. We will still go back and interact with our people and when we come back after recess, we will enrich the House with the various issues that we will have learnt during recess. We will bring more agenda for the House. I beg to Second."
