    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to welcome my friend, Hon. Sen. William Kisang. I start by congratulating him for winning the seat following a very stiff competition. We all witnessed what happened in Elgeyo Marakwet County. He deserves the win. We served with him in the National Assembly for five years. He was the Chairperson of the National Assembly Committee on Information, Communication and Technology (ICT) where I was also a Member for five years. I remember him as a good Chairperson of the Committee who understood his work and he was very competent. I remember an incident when the Jubilee Party was carrying out a purge in the National Assembly and they sent home several chairpersons of Committees. It is only two chairpersons who survived; Hon. William Kisang and Hon. Katoo Ole Metito. They survived not because they were favoured by the then Government, but they were very competent chairpersons who were able to lead their Committees without favouritism or regard for political affiliations of their Members. I can give a testimony in this House that Hon. Kisang will serve the people of Elgeyo Marakwet competently as their Senator. He has done that for 10 years in the National Assembly. He understands what it entails to oversight and the people of Elgeyo Marakwet---"
