"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want thank you for the opportunity and at the very onset join my colleagues who have spoken earlier to pass my message of congratulations to the Senator for Uasin Gishu on her elevation to the new position. I have known the Senator for Uasin Gishu since the Eighth Parliament where we served together in the National Assembly. As Sen. Orengo stated, she has been a Cabinet Minister, served in the National Assembly and now in the Senate. Therefore, she brings to the Office of the Deputy Speaker a wealth of experience. I want to encourage her and tell her that we look forward to her making the Senate great again. I have a lot of confidence in you, and I know we have made a good choice. I was worried because your predecessor left big shoes. Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki had established himself as a very effective Deputy Speaker and stickler to the rules and Standing Orders of this House. He was very firm when he made his rulings from the Chair. I was worried about the replacement, but I am now comforted knowing that you are the one replacing him. I am sure that you will perfectly fit into those shoes. This is because, for the long period that I have known you, I know that you are firm. You always stand for what you believe in. In 2007, I remember when the entire region moved from Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), you believed in the leadership and stood with us, and I believe that it even cost you your seat.
