    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support. As Senate, we had a wonderful week with “Senate Mashinani ”. It should be replicated over time so that we move around to different parts of this country. Some of us who had probably not spent as much time in that area of the county were able to interact and learn a lot of new things, in addition to taking mursik, every day for the whole week. In addition, it was a pleasure to hear from petitioners on some petitions that we have in the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights. They were very passionate. These were the petitioners on the ownership of land by multinationals. They were from Kericho and Bomet Counties. We witnessed how passionate they were. They looked up to us to help resolve the issues. This shows how important the Senate is in the era of devolution. With the Senate Committee on Justice, Legal and Affairs and Human Rights, I visited the Eldoret GK Prison. We were quite surprised by the eloquence of prisoners as they stated their challenges. I was shocked to learn that it takes years before they are tried and that is unacceptable. As we continue with prison reforms, that was firsthand insight to us as Senate. I believe we will become better legislators back in the House, having interacted with the locals and having taken devolution to the people. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes"
