    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir, thank you very much for giving me two minutes to welcome students from the University of Eldoret. It is a university that I have associated myself with for many years, from when I was a principal in 1997 to 2002. Currently, I am a founding Chair of the Endowment Fund for these wonderful students. I welcome the students. I wish to tell them that there is no good result without hard work. At the end of the day, hard work pays. Patience is the key. Diligence in your work will give us very productive Kenyans. Yes, you are students today, but in the near future, you are going to be professionals in this country. This country is looking for professionals who are ready to be competitive not only within this country, but also outside the country. However, more than that, we need people who are honest, accountable and transparent in the work that they are doing. If you see us here in the Senate, since you have come for a learning opportunity in the Senate, we also went through what you are going through. All these Senators have been through universities. Since they were able to groom themselves well, they are able to be who they are today. I wish you well. I encourage you to groom yourselves to be anything. You can be a professor today, tomorrow a Cabinet Secretary and the next day a Speaker. The future is bright. However, it belongs to the diligent, the brilliant and those who are willing to use wisdom. On behalf of this Senate, I join my Speaker in wishing you all the best. Thank you."
