    "content": "I would like to welcome my colleagues from Trans Nzoia County Assembly. I want to allude to the statements made by my senior, Sen. Wetangula, that no human is limited. I am a pure example of that statement. I was a MCA, just like them. Here I am. I am the Senate Deputy Minority Leader. I am also looking at greater things in future. I want to encourage them that the steps they are taking are steps that will take them places. Secondly, I want to encourage all county assemblies to execute their mandate as provided for in the Constitution. One thing I realized about county assemblies is that they take a lot of time to ensure that the budget cycle is achieved from the budget outlook paper, fiscal strategy paper to the budget estimates. Once those budgets are passed, they do not have a focused implementation strategy to ensure that those budgets are implemented in the manner in which the respective county assemblies passed them I would like to encourage the MCA that your role oversight, do not mix your party allegiance and party politics to dilute your core mandate of oversight. Make sure whatever resolution you make in your respective county assemblies are implemented to the letter. That is the role wananchi gave you and I believe, with the capacity you have, I have seen a lot of competency in the recent past in MCAs. There is a wild speculation that MCAs are people who are backward, not learned, but I have seen doctors who are MCAs. I would like to encourage the MCAs to continue executing their mandate in the manner which is required as per our Constitution. We, as a Senate, are here to support them. Thank you and welcome to the Senate."
