    "content": "occupation such as Mekatilili wa Menza of the Mijikenda, Field Marshal Muthoni wa Kirima of the Agikuyu, Koitalel arap Samoei of the Kalenjin, Moraa Ngiti of the Abagusii and others. Repatriation of historical artefacts held in British museums back to their rightful owners should also be on the table in addressing fractures areas in our past, even as we keep eye on the more beneficial areas of our relationship, just like the skull of Otenyo lies in a British Museum. Madam Temporary Speaker, the visit of the King of England is, therefore, a matter of immense importance to the country, both as a rare mirror of our past relations and as an opportunity to re-imagine and reshape our future engagements. I urge this House to take a leading role by speaking and setting the tone as to inform future engagements of both our countries and counties. The advent of devolution in Kenya is a major departure from the Kenya, which gained its Independence from England in 1963 and the Kenya the new King is visiting this week. Opportunities for direct engagement between counties and foreign institutions would be beneficial to the counties and this Senate is at the centre of shaping such possibilities. Finally, Kenyans wish to warmly welcome King Charles and Queen Camilla to visit as many of our counties as they can. I invite them to my home County of Kisii. We can organise our elders for a second enthronement as a Kisii elder. In the meantime, we need to keep a perspective in regard of our past and the future of our two wonderful countries, and how amicably we have addressed the past even as we work to forge forward in new mutually beneficial relations. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
