    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset, let me thank the Senate Majority Leader for defending this House, even when it is most dangerous, politically, for him to do so, especially when he stood against the powers that be. Gradually, the citizens of Kenya have realized that the Senate is the safeguard of their interests, especially devolution. I have said here before that even if we have been denied oversight funds, most Senators are doing social work for the people of Kenya. As we move on, maybe we will have a separate Senate service commission and the Senators who will come after us will enjoy the benefits. Everyday when I share the wisdom of “Senator 1,” Sen. G.G. Kariuki, the knowledge and experience of Sen. (Eng.) Muriuki and Sen. (Dr.) Machage I feel proud to be representing Nyamira County in this Senate. As we go on our recess it is incumbent upon us, especially the Members of the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee, to look at how the funds that have been devolved have been spent. I also pray for all us to stay on course as we fight for the interests of this country, as we swore when we were given this opportunity by the people of Kenya. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I beg to support."
