    "content": "Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to welcome students from Giitwe Girls High School. I would like to convey the message from the Senator of Kiambu, Sen. Thang’wa, who has asked me to welcome you to the Senate. Sen. Thang’wa is out on official duty of the Senate. I hope that the girls will have an opportunity to learn. My only word of encouragement, which I normally say all the time, is that education is a major gate to success and prosperity for all of us. The reason some of us have had an opportunity to serve in this august House is because we were given an opportunity to go to school and put a lot of effort when in school. We excelled when we were in school, beginning from primary to high school and university. Finally, I note that these students are coming from a prestigious institution of learning. Some of us never even got an opportunity to attend prestigious institutions of learning. We have had many Senators here who take a lot of pride having attended national schools. Even those of us who attended schools that have been used as polling stations for a long time also made it and we came this far. So, I challenge the girls from Giitwe Girls High School. Please make your parents, your school, and our country proud. We are looking forward to having some of you--- It should be a great encouragement to them that the person sitting on the Chair is a woman. That means that even our girls and women can go all the way up. We have great women of substance. The lady who spoke just before me, that is Sen. Mumma, has been serving as the Chairperson of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party Elections Board. So, women and ladies can go all the way up. We celebrate and love them."
