    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also join you in welcoming the Caucus of MCAs from Machakos County, led by their able Speaker, Hon. Madam Florence. The whole morning session that we had with them was very fruitful. We were able to learn a lot from one another. I encourage them to continue benchmarking with the best practices. The Senate is ready to support them in various ways, especially with legislation processes. I would like also to congratulate the four elected women in Machakos County Assembly. Bomet County has only one elected woman MCA among many male MCAs. Indeed, that was an uphill task, but they were elected against all odds. I wish to congratulate all the MCAs of Machakos County. What men can do, women can do it even better. I wish to also congratulate Madam Speaker, Florence. She informed us how she ensured some women MCAs are chairing various Committees in the assembly. Even we in this Senate, given opportunity to chair some Committees, we will do better than our male counterparts. This is an eye opener for our male colleagues and I hope they will support us. Once again, I wish to welcome this women caucus and to encourage them to continue consulting with us from time to time. When you go back, please, pass our regards to your Governor for supporting you to come to the Senate."
