    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, many have propagated lies out there about his election. For those of us who have faith in the institutions and the future of this country, this nation has moved from the days of mlolongo of 1998 where in the KANU nominations, the shortest queue was declared the longest. Those who are still dreaming by propagating lies that the shortest queue, more than 30 years down line, should be declared the longest, must be told this country has changed. We have moved to a new constitutional order and have new ways of doing things. The future of this country is based on constitutional order. Sen. Cheruiyot, you are welcome to this House. This is a strong House of elders. We have elders here like Sen. Wako, Sen. Anyang’-Nyong’o, Sen. Obure, Sen. Murungi, Sen. Leshore and Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, who is somewhere in between and who is gladly welcoming you. However, we also have strong “elders” like Sang and Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki and myself. This is a House of wisdom where we defend county governments and the Constitution. In most cases, we do so in a bipartisan manner. We welcome you here so that you can contribute to, not just making Kericho a better county, but also making this Senate and this country a better nation. We believe that in the next one year, together, we shall do more and change the course of history by investing in devolution which is the most successful and innovative chapter in our Constitution. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this moment. I wish the young Senator a bright future. I also thank the people of Kericho County for speaking in one voice. I also want to thank the former Senator, Sen. Keter, who is now a Cabinet Secretary. I can see him seated at the Speaker’s Gallery. He was my predecessor as the Deputy Majority Leader. I thank him for the great job he did for this House and his The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
