    "content": " Mr Speaker, Sir, on behalf of my colleagues, allow me to join you in welcoming our friends and honourable Members from Uganda. We are very glad to have our brothers and sisters from the East African Community (EAC) joining us to benchmark on the progress we have made in areas of accountability. There is a lot to learn from the two countries. The relationship between Uganda and Kenya is good. We believe that the process of political federation will be expedited so that in future, maybe, one of us sitting here or at the Gallery will be the president of the EAC. I also hope that we will have one large Parliament that will bring us together to take advantage of the numbers so as to make a strong economic bloc that will compete with other countries in the world. I also congratulate and welcome the staffers from Kericho and Kiambu counties. Our responsibility here in protecting devolution continues and under your leadership, we will continue mentoring our counties in different spheres. I thank you for giving me the time."
