    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have a problem with my card. Allow me to join colleagues in welcoming this cohort of interns to the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. As Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr. and other colleagues have said, I encourage them to never despise humble beginnings. Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jr., used to be a messenger in his father’s law firm. He even cleaned windows. I started my political career lower than an intern. I was a driver in President Kibaki’s times. Many others have such stories. I recommend to them a book that I am currently reading. When they get time, they should look for a book called ‘ The power Broker’ . It is a story of Robert Moses on the fall of New York City. They will see what they are doing not as a destination but as part of a beginning of a journey in case they are interested in public service. Additionally, I encourage them that it might not always be easy. However, once they have a vision of where they want to be, they should act as if they are already there. If you want to be a Senator, President, MP or lawyer, do not wait to get there. Wherever you are right now, walk, dress, talk and read like one and you will get there. If you can perceive it, you will be it and you will get there. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
