Honorable Members, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.
It gives me great pleasure as I Stand before you to usher in the 2nd County Assembly of this Honorable house.
I pay special tribute to you all the honorable members for giving me this humble opportunity to serve as your Second Speaker of our County.

I would like to take this momentous opportunity to congratulate all the elected leaders in our County, starting with His Excellency the Governor and his deputy, the honorable Senator, Honorable Member of Parliament and indeed the Honorable members of this county assembly. I wish to congratulate the people of Trans Nzoia County for conducting a peaceful general election on the 8th August 2017.

Honorable members let us all thank and appreciate the 1st Assembly despite the challenges of being the Pioneer House, they laid a firm foundation for this institution.

I also want to in a special way to thank and congratulate the only elected lady,  Hon. Lubano, who fought a brave battle and won. I wish to also congratulate and welcome all the nominated members of this assembly and wish them all the best as they discharge their mandate. 

Honorable Members Ladies and gentlemen, today marks the beginning of a new era; a great and tremendous season of five years ahead of us.
We must appreciate at the beginning of our journey as the people’s representatives that our County is a unique one in the sense that our County is comprised of all the diverse faces of Kenya in terms of race, ethnicity, Religion and so forth. Our first and foremost duty under my stewardship shall be ensuring the cohesion and integration of our people through our constitutional mandate of representation. Every category among the people of Trans Nzoia must be represented in every aspect of governance in our great County.
