    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I also rise to support the Report that has been tabled by the Standing Committee on Finance and Budget. I want to thank our Chairman, Captain Senator-Governor Ali Roba, who has distinguished himself as a very diligent Senator on issues of finance. The performance of Sen. Ali Roba gives credit to those of us who support governors who want to transition from being heads of County Executive and come to assist us in oversight and legislation. We gain a lot from the experience that they have from counties where they were executive heads. I have also seen this as I serve in the Standing Committee on Health, and on many occasions where we have had county visits with Sen. Mandago. Having had the benefit of a Chair who was not a former Governor in the last Senate, I have seen the valuable experience that becomes very useful for us, Senators, when we visit counties. I urge governors who are retiring and still think are energetic or feel they have something to offer the country, not to shy away but offer themselves through vying for positions in the Senate and coming here to make a contribution. I think Sen. Ali Roba and Sen. Mandago will agree that they have found it very interesting. We may not have the money that governors have, but we also make a contribution that tends to improve what happens in our counties. This happens all over. I saw a Bill that was proposing that we bar governors from running for senatorial or National Assembly positions. I do not support it. Let us compete.
