    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I join you together with the rest of our colleagues in welcoming the visiting delegation from the Parliament of Uganda; our good friends and neighbours. Kenya continues to have a great relationship with our neighbour Uganda. The friendship is founded on great sacrifices from both countries ensuring that our people live in harmony. On many occasions where there have been disagreements, we have solved them amicably. Therefore, without a shadow of doubt, I can declare and know this for a fact that amongst all our neighbours, Uganda still stands very tall. On many occasions, if there is a country amongst even the East African Nations that Kenyans feel at home; interact from the food to the culture and in all aspects of life, then it is in the beautiful country, “the pearl of Africa”. Therefore, I welcome this visiting delegation. Mr. Speaker, Sir, just one final comment. In the last two years, as we have played with the Parliament of Uganda in the Annual East African Parliamentary Games, all our matches have ended in a draw. We drew 1–1 in Arusha, Tanzania in 2021. Last year, in Juba, South Sudan, the game ended in a barren draw. I want to assure them that this time round, we have prepared well and we will down the Parliament of Uganda. So, tell your captain, my good friend, the hon. Mohamed Nzereko, the Member for Kampala Town, that we are coming for them together with your team manager, the hon. Minister Peter Ogwang’. This time round, the Parliament of Kenya will take down Uganda. Otherwise, I do welcome them and hope they enjoy the full duration of their stay. Thank you.
