    "content": "The Senate Majority Leader himself has declared that, that is my second home. For starters, for my friends from Uganda, I went to Moroto and Nambale High Schools and then to Makerere University. So, that completes my journey. I agree with Sen. M. Kajwang’ about Uganda; but the only thing I did not do is to come back with a wife and children. However, I came back with education. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the importance of Uganda to us, in West Pokot County, cannot be gainsaid. The President of Uganda has really helped with the peace and security situation along the border and we are very grateful to the Ugandans. Those of us who border Karamoja, Turkana and Endesabi, have enjoyed great peace since the Uganda Government embarked on pacifying that area. I am, therefore, very grateful. I am hoping that I can now send my cows to graze in Uganda and they will come back in one piece; that is a great advantage. More importantly, Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a shared educational structure. A lot of our people go to study there and a lot of them also come to study this way. So, we share an East African border situation where the border does not literally exist, because we crisscross the boundary at will. Welcome and we thank you."
