    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, therefore, being a Senator for that county, it means you are the leading political leader in that county on matters of oversight. That means you will have to maintain high standards of leadership that these leaders had. I did not campaign for Sen. Wakoli. I campaigned for Hon. Wamunyinyi who was running on Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya Coalition Party. Fortunately, we now have a leader who was chosen by the people of Bungoma. As a Senator representing one of the counties in the Western region, we will work closely with Sen. Wakoli to ensure that we have proper oversight in our region. I know one of my other colleagues from the region, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, campaigned vigorously against Sen. Wakoli. Now that he is the Senate Majority Whip, I am sure he will also provide leadership and even share lessons with the new Senator for Bungoma County. This is because we want to move together as one House and the Senate has been known to be a House that practices a bipartisan approach to issues. Sen. Wakoli, as the Senator for Vihiga County, I guarantee you that I will offer you maximum support in this Chamber as you oversee the County of Bungoma because I have a lot of interest in it. I started my career in Bungoma County. I own property in Bungoma County and my children went to school there. So, I have a lot of interest in that county. Therefore, Sen. Wakoli be assured of my maximum support as you perform your duties as the Senator for Bungoma County. I thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Merry Christmas and happy new year."
