Therefore, these students are in the right institution and have made the right decision to visit the Senate. I was in that school from year 2001 to 2004. It sounds very many years ago for Sen. Eddy, Sen. Cherarkey or Sen. Methu who is saying that it was a long time ago. However, to the likes of my good friend the Clerk of the Senate, that is just the other day. I welcome the students and wish them well. I will shortly step out to greet them and observe a very important tradition that Senators have formed when students visit this House. Secondly, I wish to welcome the members of ICS from Technical College in Nairobi City County. I was a member of ICS as well in my university days. It is one of the very progressive societies that you can identify with. It gives you a global perspective on issues because of the interactions and the programmes that run across our universities in this country. Therefore, I welcome them as they visit the Senate. May they also get the full value of whatever they came to seek out in this institution."}
