    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for that indulgence. I was told by the secretariat that we have so many schools coming in, even from Bomet County and across the country. This is because most of them are going for their holiday. However, I know that they are welcome and they should learn as much as possible. I am happy that they have had an opportunity to see one of their representatives in action. In future, we want them to be Senators and Members of the National Assembly. We even want some of them to be a Speaker like you. We also want them to be lawyers, pastors and people who can serve this nation with distinction. They should feel welcomed. On behalf of you, the Temporary Speaker and the House, I welcome them. I have addressed them outside and done the needful which we do when we have visitors from our home counties. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if you are gracious enough and you feel that your message should reach Nandi County, then you are welcome to organize for something. The same applies to Sen. Abbas, who is the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my other point is in relation to the connection of electricity in this country. We should relook at the connection of electricity. I went to a village somewhere in Tinderet, and noted that most of the wires belonging to Kenya Power and Lighting Company were almost falling off. The issue of gas is very sensitive issue. We have had cases of gas explosion. We have seen lorries carrying LPG gas involved in accidents. We should earmark roads or ensure that the lorries carrying inflammable gas use a different road. I remember in Karai, Naivasha, many years ago, there was an accident where there was a spillover of a highly inflammable material. So even as we talk about Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) licensing within the residential areas, we must also ensure that transportation of gas and many others is done within the proper regulations. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."
