As we welcome them, we also take this opportunity to once again send our collective condolences to Homa County for having lost their first Senator, Sen. Otieno Kajwang and congratulate them for electing young Sen. M. Kajwang to join us in this House. The distinguished young Senator has been a very active Member of the House in every aspect. We believe that the partnership between the counties and this House will continue in the protection and growth of devolution in the country. I want to urge the visiting delegation to never compromise on the war against corruption. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we urge the counties not to compromise on the war against corruption.

The money that we send to counties must be spent on development to eradicate poverty, enhance the lifestyles of wananchi and, more The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
