    "content": "Thank you, very much Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am particularly very excited that you have given me an opportunity to welcome the beautiful girls from South Tetu Girls, a school in Nyeri. Even though it is not my home county, on behalf of their Senator, Sen. Wamatinga, I welcome them to the Senate. I am particularly excited that amongst the students who are here is my own sister, Anna Njoki, a good girl who was left by our mother when she was a primary school kid and she has beaten all odds. I am very proud as her guardian that she is now a student and she is doing very well. She has made me and indeed our family, very proud. She is proof that you can rise and go all the way up. I wish them well in their visit to the Senate. When I last visited their school, they told me that they would want to come to the Senate so that they see where the brother of one of their colleagues works and plies his trade. I am very happy that we have made this happen and made it possible. I want just want to recall the words that I told them, that if they believe in themselves and work very hard, they will become whatever they would want to become. Through Anna and I, they will be able to mirror themselves and see that they can rise and go all the way up. Most of them are form four students including my own sister who is a candidate. From the Floor of the Senate, I give you my best wishes. Please go and conquer the world and the exams. Go and become great leaders. Amongst the Senators who are in this Chamber are good Senators who have gone all the way up. I am particularly very excited that Sen. (Prof.) Kamar who became a professor in the year that I was born, is here. She has been afloat through and through, having been a Member of Parliament and a Minister of Higher Education in the year that I joined the university. She is an example that the girls from South Tetu Girls can take after. I wish them well, including some other very young colleagues who are here like Sen. Lemaletian. You have all the examples - like Sen. Nyamu who just spoke to you - to become whatever you would want to become. I wish you well as you go back to Nyeri."
