    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, you should tell them that the taller they are, the better. I thank you for this opportunity. It is a great opportunity with the people of Kenya to realise that this House is the House of union - a House that has come to listen to the people. Earlier on today, I sat across there and the Governor of Baringo sat here, and we got a chance to go through the queries which were raised by the Auditor-General. That gave us an opportunity to speak to them on the importance of them collecting revenue during this time when the national Government is proposing to reduce money which is going to be sent to the county governments. It was important for us to emphasize on the importance of raising local revenue. It is a shame that during the defunct local authorities, county councils used to raise more revenue than what county governments are doing at the moment. I am quite happy that we have a few governors and speakers of other assemblies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that next time the Senate will go to Narok."
