    "content": "I want to thank the teachers, not only from Alliance View Junior School, but also those from Baringo, for seeing it fit for the students to come to this Senate to see how we conduct our business and carry ourselves as people's representatives. Members of this House represent the interests of the counties. We are here as the watchmen of county governments and the people to make sure that everything that they own and everything that is taken there by the national Government is well spent and taken care of. When I was in primary school, we used to take school trips, but not to the Senate or the National Assembly. We used to go to Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) to see the old man sitting on a rock. That is the First President of this Republic, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta. I remember when it was our turn, my mother could not raise Kshs300 that was required for bus fare to come and see the old man sitting on a rock. Now that I could not afford to come at that time, I would like the students to know that my office is at KICC. I see the old man sitting on a rock every day for free. That is to say that if you could not do it, it does not mean you will never do it. If you did not experience it, it does not mean you will never experience it. All you have to do is to work hard, aim higher and always believe in your dreams. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I welcome and tell them to always believe in their dreams. I thank you."
