    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join you in welcoming officially the delegation from Vihiga County to Nairobi City County. I am the one who welcomes people to Nairobi City County. I am sure they are proud to see one of their own representing Nairobi as well. Vihiga County is like home. I am glad that they have come to this county and that CPAIC has started the practice of inviting their counterpart committees when they are interrogating their counties. Vihiga County is very close to my heart. As they go in full tradition I will send them with greetings. As you go to Vihiga, please, pass by Shalom and greet my mother there. Vihiga County is a county with challenges, just like Nairobi City County. The recently released census show that it is the third highest population density in this country after Nairobi. This urban challenges require not just to see Vihiga as a rural county, but as an urban county. Many times we talk about Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa counties and ignore counties like Vihiga, yet they face similar challenges of urban poverty in many areas. We were there recently addressing security issues that happened at Kilingili, where we lost a number of watchmen. Kilingili borders both counties. I hope that the security situation has improved. I hope Sen. Khaniri will be able to tell us whether the commitments made when we went there with the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations by the county commander, et cetera, have been implemented. I want to thank and wish them a lovely stay in Nairobi City County."
