    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. It is really important for us to also have gender balance. Let me take this opportunity to thank the Governor of Uasin Gishu and his team and the Speaker of the County Assembly of Uasin Gishu for the work they have done. I remember we were here a week ago when most structures you have seen outside there were not in place. It is important to thank the leadership of Uasin Gishu County for the work they have done to make sure that the Senate sitting is successful today. Secondly, let me take this opportunity to thank Governor Mandago for the good work. When we came here first, as the leadership of the Senate, he really showed us a lot of humility. He was running up and down to receive us wherever we were and to make sure that we were received well. I think this is very important for the leadership of the counties. They should learn from Governor Mandago as he has received the Senate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, most people do not know what the Senate does. However, today, the country has seen the work of the Senate. This morning, we interacted with Members of the County Assembly when we heard a Petition from Kericho and Bomet counties in terms of land issues. There is nothing as fulfilling as having service delivery being brought to the people of Uasin Gishu or various counties to deal with the issues first-hand, instead of them travelling to Nairobi. The Senate Majority Leader has proposed that we should have more sittings like this one to build capacity, interact and share partnership with our colleagues at the county level so that we are able to deliver services as required within the laws of this country. 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."
