"content": "in the Kenya High School alias the Bomerians. Those were our brother school for a long time, until I came out here. To the boys in Lenana School, you have a very golden opportunity. Kenya is a land of all possibilities and you been privileged to be in that good school that other people have not had the opportunity to. Remember you have actually made it to this Senate, so it has gone down in history. When you go out there do not disappoint the rest. I want to differ with my good Senator, Sen. M. Kajwang’ from Homa Bay County on discouraging you from being politicians. Politics and political leadership need a test of smart brains with clarity of mind so that we also change how things are done in these platforms. Before you pursue your other ambitions, I want to also encourage you. I am a young person like you are. I was in one of those privileged schools from a very humble background, but I have transitted all the way to this national platform. I want to encourage you that you have all the chances to explore your abilities and shine in this country not only in the different careers that you want to take up but also in political leadership. Education is the only other thing that makes us equal. In this House you can present your ideas so long as you sell your policies well to the people. I want to discourage you from solely listening to what the good Senator from Homa Bay County is saying that Kenya does not need more politicians. We need political leadership so that we can sort out most of these challenges we are facing as a country. You are welcome. I thank you."
