    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to welcome our students who have come from Kiambu County and to tell them that this is the place where we make the laws and guide policies in this nation. The role of Parliament as you may have learnt in history or civics, is a very important role. The role politicians play in your lives is a very important role. So, I am glad that your school saw it fit to bring you to come and witness what we are doing at the Senate. I sincerely hope some of you will grow and take an interest to come to this House and contribute to shaping the policies that will guide this nation. As students, you might have been told that politics is a preserve for a few people. I want to disabuse you of that notion and to ask that each and every one of you whether you plan to be in the private sector or you want to work in the public service in the Executive, you must take a keen interest in politics and what happens in Parliament. This is because what happens in Parliament shapes even what happens in your schools and this country. This is the reason why we might take seriously things like the right to health and the right to water. I am glad you took an interest and you are also attentive. Even as we debate, I would like you to know that sometimes we debate emotionally. Sometimes it appears that we are exchanging but we are a united Senate working for this nation."
