I take this opportunity on behalf of the Senate to welcome the Students from Kenyatta University law campus who are here on an educational tour to visit the Senate part of the Parliament of the Republic of Kenya. All we do here is talk because that is what parliaments do. People share ideas, critique the Government and exchange ideas. This is what we come to do in this House. As students of law, I am sure you will get an opportunity to see how law-making works. It is unfortunate that you have come on an hour when we are yet to get to the real business of lawmaking through the Second Reading and Third Reading of Bills so that The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": "you appreciate and see the kind of rigorous debate that happens during the consideration of amendments. Nonetheless, I welcome them to the institution of the Senate. I know they have been given a good study tour by our competent staff. I know they will learn more as they engage with us. I would be remiss if having gotten the opportunity I failed to appreciate the form four boys from Kiurani Boys High School. I wish them well in their studies. I was a Form 4 student in 2004; exactly 20 years ago and here we are today. Your journey to greatness is on the right path. I forgot something important. We have students from KU and their institution is in mourning because of the unfortunate incident that happened with the accident involving students. What has happened to many institutions is unfortunate. Commiserations to KU as a fraternity. Pole to the family of the bereaved. We wish comfort and God’s grace. So that those students' lives are not lost in vain, I want to challenge the Roads, Transportation, and Housing committee. This is something I was to say this morning when the Cabinet Secretary was there, but I did not get an opportunity. I do not believe there is only a design fault on the roads and that is why many school buses are rolling in the same. There is a commercial interest in this. I agree with those who are telling us that many of these school buses and public passenger service vehicles we are seeing as buses are actually lorries that have been converted to buses for carrying people. They do not have the mechanical makeup of a vehicle for transporting human beings. We want to challenge the Cabinet Secretary for Roads and Transport to come clean on these issues. If there has been anybody at KEBS or the Ministry of Transport that has remodified the specifications of what passes the test of a vehicle that is supposed to carry human life, then they should be brought to book. If there is lack of sufficiency of laws, then this is the House for making those decisions so that we do not continue to lose our students. I thank you."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleague, the Senate Majority Leader, to convey my condolences to the students from KU who lost their lives through a tragic road accident. The Senate is with them at this time. We are praying for their families as they rest the students who died. The other issue I want to put across is that the students from Kiurani Secondary School - Meru and Tharaka Nithi are two counties with the same people. When I am in this House, I should be in a position to welcome them to the Senate on behalf of the Tharaka Nithi County Senator, Sen. Gataya Mo Fire who is on other official duties of the Senate. I welcome them and advise them that they have a bright future if they take their education seriously. We were students, some from poor backgrounds and in small schools. Their future is in their own hands. They should take their academic work seriously. They have got good teachers and supportive parents so that tomorrow they will be Sen. Cherarkey, Sen. Kathuri, Sen. Cheruiyot - I can see Sen. Olekina is looking at me - and Sen. Olekinas’ of this country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
