While sitting close to me, he was happy with the way the Chair was conducting the House Business. He asked a lot of questions on how the Chair enjoys his duties. He has already admired the Chair. Therefore, we should give him some work in committees so that he delivers to his people and the nation. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the Senator will be sitting in the Committee on Roads and Transportation. I was one of the Members that campaigned for him in Kericho County. I remember he promised his people that he will advocate for the tarmacking and/ or murramming of various roads. As he thinks about Kericho County, he will have an opportunity to work for the country through the committees and carry on with the duties of the former Senator of Kericho. He will also be sitting in the Standing Committee on Information and Technology to replace Sen. (Prof.) Wilfred Lesan who is the incumbent Chair of the Committee on Devolution. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Sen. Cheruiyot is a professional in Information and Technology having studied it at the university. It is important that he brings along the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
