"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me begin by welcoming the young learners in the House today to observe our proceedings. I particularly welcome Chief Mbogori Girls Secondary School students from Maara Constituency in Tharaka Nithi County and students from all the other schools that have been noticed and recognized by this House. This is a very important House into which their parents elected leaders to sit. As young people, they should aspire to one day also come here as elected or nominated Members to represent the interests of their people. Regarding the KYPA, I take this opportunity to congratulate the team that was elected, led by Hon. Gitonga Mukunji. He is an astute leader. I have known him since he was elected to Parliament. In fact, he is known politically as Mtu wa Kojima. He is a person who volunteers to serve, which is most important. In the Committee, serious names like Hon. Amina Udgoon and Sen. Okenyuri have been mentioned, among others. This shows the commitment young people have in this Parliament. I invite all the young parliamentarians who are here, including Hon. Eric Wamumbi, Hon. Betty Maina, and Hon. Babu Owino, seated across, to come together and agitate for the welfare of the youth and develop policies that are going to help this Government in achieving the aims and objectives of bringing up good citizens who are responsible for what is going to happen. Those of us in our golden age, led by seniors like Dr Nyikal and Hon. Omar, should also consider coming together to agitate for our issues, which are peculiar to us and quite different from those of the youth. Let us give this idea serious thought. We can come together and agitate for what we believe is suitable for those in their golden age. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
