    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also want to join you and my fellow colleagues in welcoming the delegation from Zimbabwe. One thing that I learnt is that we, the young people of this country, always like crying about how marginalized we are because of the limited opportunities that we get, be it from the national Government or the county governments. However, I am pleased to tell my fellow Kenyans, the youth that in Kenya we are miles ahead of many countries in Africa. As the delegation from Zimbabwe told us, they do not allow anybody below the age of 40 years to sit in the Senate. As the Chairperson Sen. M. Kajwang’ rightly put it today, some of us would not be seated here. I am sure that because they are here on a learning mission when they go back home they will tell their people about us because I believe that the brains that we have here in Kenya in our young men are the same brains and intellect that the people of Zimbabwe have. So, when they are thinking about the constitutional amendment in their country, they should eliminate that capping at 40 years because I believe the young men and women of Zimbabwe have a great contribution to make to their country. I want to welcome them. Next time when they come we also want to see more women in their delegation. They have told us that in their Senate they have met the two-third gender rule. However, in their delegation, they only came with two women."
