    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this opportunity to welcome the students from Kongoi Secondary School, Nakuru County. I welcome you to this great House, the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. This is a great place to learn a lot of history and civics. I also thank the teachers who decided, with a lot of wisdom, to bring you to this particular House, for you to learn many things. You will get an opportunity to learn a lot from the Parliament of Kenya. We have the “Lower House”, which is the National Assembly and the “Upper House,” which is the Senate. This is a very important House, on matters to do with legislation, the oversight projects of our counties and many other good functions. Therefore, I welcome the students. Chinua Achebe in ‘Things Fall Apart’ says that, “when you see the king’s mouth, you might be tempted to think that he never suckled the mother”. When you see the Senators here, you might be tempted to think that we were not students, but we were students and young like you. The difference is only a matter of time and you will be here. Students, you need to be very discipline in school and work very hard because we have seen that things have changed. People with a lot of education will be required to be in such places, so that you become very informative. Additionally, work very hard in your school and be very disciplined. We all admire Nakuru County for so many things. I am very happy because I was also a student in Nakuru County. I was in Nakuru High School in Menengai. Whenever I see students from Nakuru County, it makes me proud. I thank their teachers as well. The work that teachers are doing to this country is great. I would like to encourage you teachers to continue with the good work that you are"
