    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank you for granting me this opportunity to recognize the presence of students and teachers from Cardinal Otunga High School, under the stewardship of one strong man, the Chief Principal, Mr. Albert Ombiro, who hails from my Constituency of Bomachoge Borabu. The school is on the border between Luos and Kisiis at a place called Mosocho. It is near the home of the former Minister, Hon. Zachary Onyonka, the father of the current Senator for Kisii, Sen. Onyonka, who is not here. I welcome the rugby powerhouse and academic giants. For your information, they were among the top nationally in the 2022 Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) examinations. I would equate Cardinal Otunga to Kenya High School where I went. I therefore welcome the boys to this House. We have inter-generational shift. As you can see, we also have young legislators here like myself, who are learning from seasoned politicians like the Senator for Kakamega, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. I urge you to put emphasis on your academics and obey your parents. Your future lies on yourselves. You are privileged to be in such a school because there are people who do not have that privilege. Opportunity comes once. Please make use of it. You do not have to be a Senator like myself. You can become a doctor, pilot or many other professions. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is the same school that the former MP, Hon. Simon Ogari, went to. He was the MP for Bomachoge Chache Constituency. Therefore, it is a home of giants and I am proud to have you here this afternoon. To the teachers, this Government is working hard to ensure that you are comfortable as you teach our students, so that they can solve the challenges we face as a country."
