    "content": "interacted with many Senators here. None of them is asking to be given money to manage. They want money to be given to the Senate and be allocated to their constituencies and counties for them to go and do public participation and audits, to make sure that the resources given to counties make sense. I will ensure that I incorporate the inter-governmental relations requirement in my leadership in the Executive, to make sure that the working relationship between counties and the national Government is achieved. This will be for proper accountability and proper use of resources. Finally, I believe that the challenge that we must surmount in this Chamber - and I have seen it before - is to ensure that we work bipartisan. One of my most memorable moments in this House is when we protected marginalised counties in the County Allocation of Revenue Bill. We have served together countless times in this House from both sides of the political divide. Members will have to cross the Floor to interact and persuade each other. They will need to ensure that when it is matters of national interest, there is no Azimio or Kenya Kwanza, but only one Kenya that will produce results to protect the citizens of this Republic. When time comes to discuss that formula again or any other matter that is national in nature, I look forward to a leadership that will cross the Floor of this Chamber, to negotiate and consult. I cannot exhaust my ten years’ experience in the Senate in this short time. I have been the captain of the Bunge Football Club (FC) team and scored many goals during matches within the country and other places such as Arusha and Dar es Salaam. I will miss those great moments. I hope to continue training with the Bunge FC and, perhaps, participate in the East African Community (EAC) Parliamentary Games."
