The Senator of Vihiga County is possibly the only one who has a record of addressing the Assembly of Vihiga every year and more times than anybody else. As I welcome the Members from Vihiga County Assembly, I would like to tell them that their Senator is Senator Number One out of the longevity of service and hierarchy. You have a good Senator. However, what I am worried about is that in the last Senate, Vihiga was number one in terms of petitions on mismanagement of public resources. I hope that now that we do not receive those petitions - I am not sure how to interpret it - it means you are doing well in Vihiga. Lastly, Sen. Khaniri has been on the forefront of ensuring the border disputes with your neighbours are resolved amicably. I have tried my level best as the Senator for Makueni to have a County Boundaries Bill. When you go to Vihiga, go on your knees pray for the Members of the National Assembly to see it fit to have a framework for determining disputes on boundaries."}
