    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to welcome our colleagues from the ICGLR and also my constituents; honourable MCAs from Migori County to this august House. The presence of our international equals is a testimony that the culture of democracy is being deepened in Africa. Scholars who have written about liberal democracy indicate that if you want to know that democracy is with us; see what your neighbours are doing. Therefore, their visit is a testimony that in the continent, we are democratizing, practising and are doing well. To my colleagues from Migori County, welcome to the Senate. The Senate is a lovely place. I am happy to report to the Senate that Migori is a very diverse county. It is diverse in culture, gender and in many aspects. That is attested to by the galaxy of representation we have. This is a good place to learn and I hope that they will be able to visit us more frequently so that they learn from us and we also learn from them because it is not possible to purport to legislate on their behalf without interacting with them. It is also not possible for them to legislate on behalf of our people without interacting with us. Therefore, they are welcome to this institution and hopefully they will make the best out of it and we will also make the best out of their presence. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
