    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is always a pleasure to see our children come to our workplace which is also the seat of power. As I welcome these children, I reflect on the care that we give to our children. Today, we are happy that the children of Kitui are here but yesterday, we were very sad in Kakamega. On behalf of the children of Kakamega, these children here will carry home this pain. Two years ago, there was a stampede at the Kakamega Primary School. We lost nine girls and five little boys. We went to court to seek for some degree of compensation. You cannot believe it that after losing 14 children, the court has sat and decided that they be given a collective Kshs17.5 million. The courts, my foot! We care about our children and we care about you, the children who have come to visit us. We will make sure that you have enough teachers and enough learning materials. We will also make sure that the challenges you are facing because of the new system of education will be addressed. It is not an easy thing and fixing it is not like instant coffee because we inherited this awful change from the ‘handshake’ Government. We are up to it, and we will make sure that we adjust it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we know your Senator is not here right now. As far as Kitui is concerned, we know how expansive it is and the Senate is doing everything to make sure that shareable revenue that goes to Kitui is expanded to meet your large population, geographical area and your harsh, almost semi-arid conditions. You are most welcome. I love you, the children of this school, Kitui, and children of Kenya."
