    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also rise to welcome our colleagues from county assemblies who may not be seeing me but may be the screen is showing me. Let me raise one point, that it is a very good practice for committees of county assemblies to come and meet with counterpart committees in the Senate. It is also very good for them to come and see these committees in action. It is also very encouraging for them to come and see the Senate in action. I think it is Sen. Khaniri from Vihiga County who has spearheaded this movement. We have had many delegations from there. Could I request that a communication comes from either the Speaker’s or the Clerk’s Office informing all counties and encouraging them to come to the Senate. Some counties do not seem to be aware that this is something that they can benefit from. I must say that my county has not taken advantage of this but maybe because they are not quite knowledgeable on the importance and usefulness of such visits. As I welcome my colleagues in the Gallery, I would like to inform them that communication comes from your office or the Office of the Clerk that would encourage these committees and Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) to come, discuss with us and see our Committees in action."
