    "content": "He may have not known this, but when I joined politics, he was the first person to call and told me that I had made the right choice. I am talking as an outsider, but I know that we will need more Senators like him in this House. As we continue to conduct our business in the next five years, let us remember that the outsiders look at us. Being one of them, I knew Sen. Murkomen was one of the people that Kenyans relied on. I hope we will fill the gap, fit into his shoes, and ensure our people rely on us. As the proposed CS for Roads and Transport, he has promised that he will work for all of us. Do not look at it in a political way. Some of the Senators who visited Keroche Breweries were shocked to see how pathetic the road was. The road is about 1.5 kilometres long. When I requested the previous Government to repair the road, they asked me the number of votes they would get from the area. I urge him not look at that, but rather how much revenue comes from that company. A company that can pay taxes of over Kshs200 million per month should have a good road. The road can be done with only Kshs100 million. I wish you all the best. I am sure His Excellency the President will give the newly appointed Cabinet Secretaries a freehand when it comes to decision-making. The previous Government had 22 Cabinet Secretaries, yet none of them could make any decision. I am sure that the business community and the people of Kenya are watching to see if the Cabinet will work like that of President Kibaki, where Sen. (Dr.) Oburu was an Assistant Minister. At that time, you could even rely on the word of an Assistant Minister, leave alone a Minister’s word. We are watching and praying for you to ensure that the Cabinet does to Kenyans what they deserve, be it business, creation of jobs, or ensuring service to everybody without looking at who elected you and who did not. I know we will feel the fire in the Cabinet now that you are leaving the Senate. Consider making roads in every county and talk about the Government of His Excellency---"
