    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join you on behalf of the Senate of the Republic of Kenya to welcome this visiting delegation from our various county assemblies who are on a study tour of the Senate. The Senate continues to make its contribution in growing and nurturing our various county assemblies through various avenues such as the one presented today before us. It is my sincere hope that the delegation will get the full value of their time in the Senate and interact with our very competent, well-trained and able staff, so that as they retreat to their various county assemblies, they may pass on the same knowledge and skill to our various Members of County Assembly (MCAs). Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know that despite the fact that we are on the third cycle of MCAs, many of them are yet to learn the art of legislative work. It is difficult to think off the top of your mind outstanding legislations that has come by way of Government Bills or privately sponsored in our county assemblies, that has significantly changed the way of life or even improved on the quality of life of the various people that these assemblies represent. I believe that the training received by these senior staffers of our various county assemblies will go a long way in helping impart and pass on that knowledge. It is a fact and I need not to hide it. Even the Bills considered and passed by this House are done with a very great input and guidance of our members of staff. I hope the colleagues that are here from the county assemblies get to learn and train our county assemblies as well. I thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
