"content": " Madam Temporary Speaker, I wish to second this Motion. First of all, I associate myself with the very eloquent speech made by the Senate Majority Leader. I thank him for the leadership he is showing in so far as the integrity of this House is concerned. He has done extremely well. I have been in corridors where I have seen him take a stand that nobody else would feel comfortable with. I am happy that the second station for us to go mashinani is Kitui County. Sen. Wambua is my good friend. It looks like Sen. Wambua is everybody’s friend. I do not know whether he has given us some drug. The popularity of choosing Kitui had something to do with one Sen. Wambua because he has touched the hearts, minds and souls of everybody in both sides of the House. I also know that Kitui is one of the most expansive counties in the country. It is almost part of the former Coast, North Eastern and Central provinces. Also, part of what we call Nairobi is Machakos which is a neighbour to Kitui. If you want to know how big Kitui is, as you drive past Thika, it takes you a short time, past Matuu, to get into Kitui. The Governor of Kitui County is somebody we have worked with for a long time. We congratulate the people of Ukambani for producing leaders from all experiences. As a lawyer, some the greatest lawyers in this country come from Kitui. For example, we have graduates from Harvard Law School and some professors who have taught there. The first female Cabinet Minister also came from Kitui - if I am not wrong. There are so many things to say about Kitui, its people and the expansive natural resources, although there are some controversies about coal. Under that soil, there must be a lot of more that can be extracted for the good of the country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
