Now that I am here as the Senator for Lamu, I urge this House to make sure that we join hands so that we uplift the standard of education in Lamu County. I also thank the visiting delegation of teachers from Lamu County. I encourage other teachers from the county to emulate what the teachers of Stone Town Academy have done. I believe that by so doing, we shall get some knowledge from other people such as the Senator of Kakamega, who is coming from a very advanced county. I believe if this delegation can make a point of visiting Kakamega County, they can learn more things and take it to the people of Lamu County. I welcome them to the Senate and tell them that no man is limited. Today, I am the Senator and they can also decide to change their careers and come to the Senate. They are welcome. If I am the Senator of Lamu County, they can also be anything else they want to be in this Republic of Kenya. I thank you."}
