    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to associate myself with the sentiments from colleagues in welcoming the delegations. We were privileged as the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare to interact with the delegation from the House of Chiefs of Botswana and we learnt a lot. They have a unique system. As much as their Parliament is unicameral, the traditional chiefs from even before the colonialists, have a house where they sit and advise the Parliament, which creates cohesion. We acknowledge that as much as we have the western systems, our traditional systems also add value. They encouraged us because they focused on maintenance of culture and how to transmit culture to the next generations. It is quite encouraging for us to have delegations from other African countries. I encourage Committees and Committee Chairpersons that instead of always trooping to the United States of America (USA) or United Kingdom (UK), to also organize trips to other African countries like Botswana, Nigeria, Ghana et cetera, so that we can also learn from each other. It must not always be a Western State. I would also like to welcome the Members of the County Assembly of Bungoma. Your Communication will be transmitted both live on television and by them because they have witnessed it. I am sure when they go back home, they will tell the people of The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
