I encourage them to be coming more often, so that they can learn more. I know that some of them will be the future Senators. I wish to let them know that the core business of this Senate is to protect counties and their governments. More so, I want them to know that the Senator whom they sent to this Senate as their representative protects the interests of Nandi County. I hope to visit Nandi County to see what is happening as far as development is concerned, despite being denied the oversight funds. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."}
