    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. So, that future that I see where the President will be CORD and the Governor of Kakamega will be Bonny Khalwale. I see a future where the Senator is capacitated enough to oversight me real-time because I will have nothing to hide. I see a future where from day one, I would have room to give life to the thoughts of young Stephen Sang, Senator for Nandi; that is I have an opportunity to invite the County Development Forum Membership. How would I ever run a huge county like Kakamega without support from the 12 Members of Parliament or without support from the 60 members of the county assembly together with the nominated ones who come to 87 MCAs? That answer is in this Fund. I want to be in that Fund together with my county secretary as secretaries to the Board and the Senator who knows it all about the money that they bring from here to sit in the Chair so that they give us the opportunity on how best we can all move our county together. Imagine in the Financial Year 2016/2017, Kakamega County is set to get a whopping Kshs11.6 billion yet you want to leave that colossal sum of money in the hands of somebody who has bragged publicly that Kakamega is not like Embu or Murang’a where MCAs can impeach him. If that is the kind of governor I would bring into our office, then let me have a serious Senator who would wake me up from that kind of slumber. I support this Fund and I have a lot of time and thanks for Sen. Kiraitu for the work they have put into this work. I will work with you. If it means we speak English, I will do it to push the cause. If it means we speak Kiswahili, I will make an attempt. If you say that I do it in Luhya, you will not believe the results, that is where I am perfect. I can engage in many tools, including the tools of bullfighting, so that we save this House. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I had an opportunity to go to the Republic of Poland led by the Speaker, Hon. Ekwee Ethuro, and there is only one word that I came home with. My takeaway was the Senate is a House of reflection. You reflect. We want to reflect on the budget, we want to reflect on the laws, we want to reflect on oversight and we want to reflect on where we want to take our children.
