    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you in welcoming the delegation from Zambia. Zambia has had a very warm relationship with Kenya. During the period of our founding fathers, we all remember with affection the old man with a handkerchief, H.E. the late Kenneth Kaunda, visiting Kenya; and equally, our President visiting the good Zambia in many occasions. This country has distinguished itself in terms of development and democratic practice. They have had a successful transfer of power. Right now, they have a very progressive President called Hakainde Hichilema or H.H, who has been serving in the Opposition for many times. He tried to be President and right now, he is the Head of State. He has introduced the equivalent of what we call National Government- Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) in Kenya. Many good things are happening in Zambia. Zambia, like Kenya, is one of those countries which do not have requirements of visa. As a result, we have held many international meetings in Lusaka. Going to Lusaka is as easy as coming to Nairobi City and we have a good relationship with these people. When you listen to their radio stations – I have been to Lusaka many times – you will notice that even their accent is very similar to Kenyan accent. You will find good food in Zambia. They have nshima which is equivalent of our own ugali. Maybe the difference is that they put some sugar to their roasted meat, the equivalent of our nyama choma. So, that is where we might differ a bit. Otherwise, it is a warm and beautiful country, ready for investment. I will be happy if maybe one of my children gets a wife from there or if maybe one of their sons can get a wife from one of our daughters."
