    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to support the able Chairman and his Committee for this noble Report on tourism. I have known Utalii College for so many years. My daughter went to Moi University and got attached to various hotels in this country. I made sure I visited her in the 17 different hotels in the country that she had opportunity to work for. There was a time I would visit Kisumu together with Hon. Jakoyo. We have an able Cabinet Secretary in the Ministry of Tourism. What we should do now is talk good about our county. Let us remember that Kenya is a beautiful country and attracts tourists. We should not only focus on Mombasa, Nairobi and Kisumu. We need to look at other parts of this country because they too have beautiful scenes. Let us think about it. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have visited your area. There is a time I got about 1,000 acres of land in Ukambani where I planted bananas and oranges for export and many foreigners would visit my farm to see how I was doing my work. Every county in this country has elements of tourism and, therefore, is an attraction to tourists. If we focus on that, we will make a lot of money as a country. We have 47 governors. If they put their minds together, with the support from the national Government, this country will make big strides economically. I am happy with Hon. Keynan. I have known him since his university days. I am sure he remembers I used to talk to him then. When I see him bring beautiful reports to this House, I feel so happy. I thank him so much. I would like to ask him to come back to the 12th Parliament. I wish everybody well. Let us all talk about tourism in our respective counties. Let us talk to each other like brothers and sisters. We should stop the trend of campaigning even after elections because that is where we go wrong. Let us talk about our beautiful country. I thank you."
