    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I rise to support and add my voice to join you in welcoming the MCAs from Migori County Assembly and reaffirm that devolution hinges on them. Therefore, I want to encourage them to continue to ensure that devolution continues to strengthen and to serve our people. I welcome them and say that the Senate and the local assembly is one and the same thing. Therefore, we rely on them for primary oversight and look forward to working with them closely. Going to the FP-ICGLR, one of the reasons why I asked to say something is because some of the Members are my personal friends. Our Senator from Rwanda is also a Member of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association, and I have met and worked with her very closely. Looking at the people who are sitting at the Speaker’s Gallery today, I am very happy that the Forum of Parliament has such great people who are going to take Africa and the African agenda to the next level; not just through the ICGLR, but also in other fora. Therefore, I welcome them to Nairobi, and Kenya. It is home for them as well. There is nowhere in Africa that is really where other Africans are foreigners. This is not South Africa. You are here and you belong here. Welcome home. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
