    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity, as the Senator for Nairobi City County, to welcome the students from Leadership Academy. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why your decision on the discussions that were ongoing before is very critical. In fact, when students come to the Senate like this for a visit, being young and impressionable people, what they experience here today is something that will stay with them forever. I am a bit disappointed that all they got to experience were points of order. I hope that they can come back another time when there is serious debate going on in the Floor of the House. When Sen. Cherarkey – whom we refer to as a Senator from a rural county – will not interfere with debates. This is a House of debate. Let these young people not leave here thinking that all we do is quarrel about Standing Orders. Let them come here one day and experience a proper debate about education, health or matters that are charged to our conduct. Welcome to the Senate. It is not one of the best days but I am sure that you will pick something from your experience here. Work hard in school. I hope that some of you, since you are in Leadership Academy, will aspire to be leaders. The sky is the limit. There is no obstacle in your paths. Do as your teachers say. I am sure that one of these fine days, we will see some of you in the Senate. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
