    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join you in welcoming the delegation of the seven hon. Members who are benchmarking, from our neighbour, the Republic of Uganda. I want to report to the House that under the Chairmanship of our Chairperson for the Senate Standing Committee on Labour and Social Protection, we had a fruitful engagement with the delegation from Uganda. Let us pride ourselves as Kenyans. There is a lot that the hon. Members from Uganda were impressed about our country Kenya. They were impressed to learn that in Kenya, we have a court that is set under Article 162 of our Constitution that is dedicated purely to dealing with labour issues. So, we are trailblazers in East Africa. They were also impressed with the facilities that we have as the Parliament of Kenya. Courtesy of the Parliament and the hon. Clerk, we hosted them for a very hard lunch and they were impressed to find matoke ; a delicacy in Uganda. We hope that this integration is the way to go. When we see a delegation from our brother country, Uganda, visiting us, it also by extension invites us, as Kenyans, to visit the Parliament of Uganda, so that we can learn. I was impressed to learn that in their country, committees do not serve for the entire tenure of five years. You are appointed to serve for two and a half years. After that, you again get a fresh appointment from your whip. So, this is very good. We were impressed. We wish you a fruitful stay in the City of Nairobi. We appointed Sen. Mundigi to lead the social interaction and he told me that tomorrow there will be a dinner between a few Kenyan Members of Parliament and the Ugandans. When you go back to Uganda, please, say hi to our His Excellency Museveni. We are happy with what he is doing with LGBTQ. I thank you."
