    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to also add my voice in congratulating the Bungoma Senator David Wakoli Wafula. Allow me to also take this opportunity to welcome our colleagues from the National Assembly who have come to escort their Senator. I do hope that this show of solidarity amongst elected leaders from Bungoma County will continue beyond today. If it does continue beyond today, then it is a good thing for the great County of Bungoma. As it has been said, we used to sit here with the Sen. Wetangula, now the Speaker of the National Assembly. He was a star Senator; he did very well. Sen. Wafula, you have your work cut out for you. Human beings tend to compare performance among their leaders. The challenge for you now is to ensure that when the people of Bungoma begin to compare your performance with that of Sen. Wetangula, they will be comparing apples with apples. The beauty of it is that there will be an opportunity for you and all of us to learn. Learning is a continuous life process. I like what Sen. Cherarkey has said that you will be accorded an opportunity to be inducted and be trained on the workings of the Senate. He also mentioned that if there are some leaders who also want to join in that mentoring and induction training then they can tag along. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the only thing that Sen. Cherarkey was shy of saying and I will say it on his behalf, is that we all need to be inducted and trained, but I think he needs it a lot more than many of us. Therefore, if there will only be one more chance for a Senator to accompany Sen. Wafula, I plead that it be given to Sen. Cherarkey."
