Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. This is a very interesting afternoon. When such matters are being considered, it is one of the best days to be in the House. You will recall that at the beginning of this Session of the Senate, I brought a constitutional amendment - after six months of watching the performance of my good friend and our former colleague, the Governor of Nairobi City County - of course, many things were said at that time but it was informed by very simple reasoning.

This is a very exciting journey. I am a neighbor of Nakuru County and, therefore, by extension, I would be glad if they are befitted with that status. This is because it means that next on the line is Kericho. After Nakuru is Kericho, before you get to Kisumu; so I know that we should be next on line.
