    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that was for the sake of record. I want to join my colleagues in congratulating you and the Speaker, hon. Ekwee Ethuro, on your election as the Deputy Speaker. I know for sure that the two of you are capable of handling the job. We have been together in Parliament before and I know that you will handle us well. I want to join my colleagues in congratulating all of us who are here. It was not easy going round. For instance, for me, the Senator for Kericho, I went round six constituencies and it was not easy. Some of my colleagues like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale had to go round 12 constituencies. That was not easy and I want to congratulate all of you despite the fact that we are being paid like Members who represent one constituency. This is a subject which is of concern to many of us. Which is better; to represent one constituency or a county with 12 constituencies? I want to thank the people of Belgut Constituency, which I represented during the last Parliament and in the Ninth Parliament, for the trust that they had in me and for electing me. I also want to thank the people of Kericho County for giving me the chance to be their first Senator. I want to assure them that I will do my best the way I have done it before in my constituency of Belgut. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Presidential Speech was of great substance. Some of us have worked with hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, Mr. Deputy Speaker, you being one of them. We served in the Ninth Parliament together in the Public Accounts Committee (PAC). We know him as a person who means good to all of us, as a country and leads in what he says. He delivers on all the pledges he makes. Therefore, I call upon Senators to see that whatever promises he made are things he will deliver. I have confidence that he will deliver on all those pledges. I want to start with an issue that some of us campaigned with and it is a critical issue with regard to where some of us come from. The issue of Internally Displaced The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
