    "content": "Many businesses have been built out of either trading or any form of relationship that exists between the local community and the BATUK. Therefore, to have them visit us is a great honour. I know for a fact that it has not been extremely rosy for the past few years. There have been difficulties and difficult conversations as you would expect in any human relationship. There are times when issues arise. However, the most important thing is how you amicably resolve and ensure that the long-standing relationship that Kenya enjoys with the UK continues. I know that our colleagues in the National Assembly did tremendous work in ensuring that before renewing--- The co-operation agreement is renewed I think every three or five years. There are certain terms and conditions that were put in place to ensure that we protect both the soldiers and the local community, so that any matters that had previously arisen based on the experience of the previous years are forestalled to ensure that soldiers that come to Kenya enjoy their time. I like reading. If you read the journals of many soldiers, they give testament of whatever they studied, their experience in Nanyuki and how it impacted later in their careers as soldiers or army men and women. Therefore, this is a relationship that we need to guard jealously and ensure that it is mutually beneficial to both Kenya and the UK. I hope that in the duration of their stay, they will get to enjoy and learn all that there is to learn about this Parliament. If they have questions, they are always welcome to interact with Members of Parliament (MPs) who are here and those in the National Assembly, so that they can have a fulfillment of what they sought to do when they set on their calendar programmes to visit the Parliament of Kenya this afternoon. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on behalf of our colleagues and all the Senators in the House this afternoon, I join you to welcome them and wish them a fruitful stay. I thank you."
