    "content": "Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity in joining you and others in welcoming the students of Kongoi Secondary School. My colleagues have said it all, and I do not want to repeat what they have said. I want to tell the student that, normally, we are a full House with a lot of activity. Therefore, what you are seeing here is not typical of a normal session of the Senate. In a secondary school, you are at a very critical stage in forming the basis, the foundation of your future. It is at this stage that you become teenagers and develop a vision of what you want to be in future. It is at this stage that you develop your character properly. I want to assume that because your sponsoring body, I suppose, is the Ecumenical Lutheran Church of Kenya. The school is also founded on a firm moral, Christian or religious basis. That is important to me because one of the key evils in our society today is the fact that we lack a national ethos; a proper, positive national ethos to govern our society. It is just that we applaud issues such as corruption and negative aspects of ethnicity. I believe that your school is bringing you up in a way in that you will grow up ethically with a strong moral foundation, discipline and fear of the Almighty God, which our Constitution recognises in the preamble and the opening Articles of the Constitution. We recognise God."
