    "content": "business as the Senate. As the Senator for Baringo County, being a Member of this House, we will work together to ensure that democracy and devolution, which are the only ways we can take more resources to our people, are upheld. We are now in the process of making our budget; the budget cycle. We passed a law in December to have more money going to counties. In that law, Baringo County is set to receive Kshs.800 million. We will continue to work together under the leadership of the Speaker to ensure that counties have enough resources to serve our people. I welcome fellow leaders from Baringo County. I am proud of you people. We will move together and ensure that Baringo County, the County that has already been recognized to have stood firm and rejected the infamous BBI, continues to prosper. Mr. Speaker, Sir, counties have problems. I am happy that our Standing Committee on Devolution in this House has begun visiting counties that have issues or challenges. I am glad that Baringo County does not have issues. Should there be issues, the colleagues in the County Assembly, the Standing Committee on Devolution of this House and I will move swiftly to address them so that we avoid the kind of fights that we have witnessed in other counties. I welcome the delegation from Baringo County Assembly and urge them to learn from this House and ensure that they also add value to Baringo County. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
