    "content": "Kajwang’ and Sen. Ogola will be out of this Chamber to pursue other greener pastures. There will be a vacancy, which I hope they will be willing to fill. I also want to encourage them that leadership is not only in the political field, but they should aspire to be leaders in their professional fields. They can be leaders in the religious realm. They can be leaders at different levels. So, now that they have made it to the Senate today, it already indicates that they have got some leadership skills in them. Let them not just apply to the political field. Finally, I also want to assure the young boys and men from Homa Bay County that this House is committed towards making devolution work so that in future we can have tarmac roads in Homa Bay and Migori. You do not have to come to Nairobi. We are keen on ensuring that at least every county has a city. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am sure that this House is going to approve the request by Eldoret County to be a city and soon, we will also be saying that we want Homa Bay to be a city; a city by the lakeside and a city that will be a leading destination for knowledge-based innovation, blue economy and those kinds of things. That is the kind of future we want to build for them so that they do not look at Nairobi as the centre of Kenya, but they look at their counties as places where they can get opportunities. I thank you."
