    "content": "can be proud of itself. We found Kenya here because of the sweat and the commitment of our forefathers. Therefore, we are not exceptional. I also note with a lot of appreciation in this Senate that from the year 2022, the Senate will attract many people. This is because the first elected governors who are still young and have accumulated a lot of wealth without sweating for it, will be struggling to remain relevant in politics. So, they would want to come to the Senate and nowhere else. Therefore, there are seats that would attract many leaders are in this House. They will spend a lot of resources and use helicopters to campaign to come here. The Senate could be down now, but very soon it would be very much up and even our own colleagues who are going to the National Assembly will come back. Therefore, we want to look at it positively. It is time to give our best, look back and be proud. Going forward, personally I am very proud that I brought a lot of Bills to this House. I worked to the extent that even when there was a survey, people in my West Pokot County found that I was once declared a hardworking person. This is true because I work for them tirelessly. That is why they want me to serve them as a governor. Lastly, the disorder we are seeing now where people are involving hooligans in their campaign is being perpetuated by our opponents. We should condemn any acts of hooliganism in the strongest terms possible. Every political party should not have those people roaming around. Leaders who seem to be perpetuating this violence should focus on other things that will benefit their supporters. Unfortunately, some of them are in the high ranks in this country, but it does not matter whether this hooliganism will degenerate into something bad. You may visit a place and this mess follows you. So, these are some of the things that we need to focus on and avoid looking down at some particular parties because we are a democratic nation with a multiparty democracy. You can vie anywhere in the former Central Province on a party that is not popular and win. In West Pokot, for example, Kenya African National Union (KANU) is the most popular. Therefore, they cannot demean KANU in my county because it is the most popular party. We are proud of it because we are keeping our heritage and history. By the way, some of your parties are dying and you will come back to KANU; Chama cha baba na mama very soon. So, these are some of our concerns; that you should stop looking down upon us. I know we have the National Super Alliance (NASA) that wants to go to State House and we have Jubilee who wants to remain there. Indeed, we need to play our politics maturely because leadership is not to divide our people, but to build and bond us more. There is a leader who is elected after every election we need to obey and stand by them because God gets us through our elections through our own votes. I wish you well; may we continue to stand as a nation even after elections. I support."
