A word of welcome for the visiting delegation from Busia County Assembly. I hope they get to interact with our Serjeant-at-Arms department and any other department that they may find relevant to their study as they visit our House. I hope they make the best use of their time and learn from the best. I have said many times before and I speak from a position of authority that you will struggle to find the kind of competence that we have in the Parliament. So, take advantage. Their visit has come at a sad time when we are mourning one of their sons, a colleague and member of staff, Mr. Wellington Namenge. As they travel back home, let them take a message of condolence from us, the Senate, knowing that this gentleman served us with tremendous courage and zeal as a Senate and Parliament generally. I welcome the team from Busia County Assembly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, having said that, I beg to move to the next business."}
