"content": "Thank you, for this opportunity to also join my colleagues to congratulate the interns who have joined us. I will only say three things. One, an internship programme is very important for people who are interested in organic career growth. Organic growth is where you go through the stages right from the bottom to the top most position that you can ever achieve. May I inform the interns that I am personally a good product of internship. I was inscripted into politics and went through a very serious, rigorous internship programme for more than 24 years, sitting at the feet of my brother who was an MP, being given opportunities to make and learn from my own mistakes. May I call upon and challenge the interns to aspire to do whatever job or task put ahead of them without necessarily worrying too much about the mistakes that may accrue in the process of undertaking the task. It is through those mistakes that you learn and sharpen your skills. The second thing I want to say has been said by my colleagues. Do not try to be like any one of us or any other person. Just be yourself. My lecturer at the university told me that you cannot ape and hope to create. For you to be innovative and creative, just be yourself, do what is right to do. Lastly, I heard Sen. Murkomen wish that you were here during the debate for the Third Basis for allocation of resources to counties because it was robust. However, you have not missed anything. Sen. Murkomen should have told you that we are in the middle of an equally robust debate on the BBI Bill. So, take your time, learn the ropes and aspire to be creative."
