    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to congratulate Sen. Khaniri. In the life of this Parliament and ever since I joined this Senate, he has always utilised this Standing Order in a manner that will help him in future to write his memoirs. He has always talked about topical issues. What I have seen other great leaders do is that they take their contributions in parliament and in public service and compile into a book. I encourage Sen. Khaniri to do so. Mr Speaker, Sir, one of the greatest scams of my generation, the generation that Sen. Khaniri is crying about that has got no interest in agriculture, was a song that used to be played in the morning and lunch time when we used to go to school. That song was by Ben Blastus O’bulawayo. That Swahili song said “ someni vijana, muongeze pia bidii. Mwisho wa kusoma, mtapatakazi nzuri sana.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, many young people went to school hoping that education was going to be the key to success. Along the way because of corruption, ethnicity and thievery, the Government changed the padlock and education could no longer unlock success in this country."
