    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I truly thank you. I take this opportunity to thank learners who have visited today. I welcome you all to Parliament. Allow me, Hon. Deputy Speaker, to single out Riara School. It is an exceptional school within Dagoretti area that was founded by great educators in this country: Mr and Mrs Gachukia and the entire Gachukia family. For more than four decades, that school has been exceptional in terms of quality of academic and in co-curricular activities. I welcome the learners to Bunge today. This is where the laws of the land are made with consideration of what is seen in that banner that says that all the things we do here are done for the ‘Welfare of Society and the Just Government of the People.’ I also take this opportunity to let the Members know that this coming weekend is the most important day for the Scouting community. I say this because I am leading a caucus in this Parliament known as the World Scout Parliamentary Union, a very vibrant and active caucus, whose membership comprise of very active Members. It has very active Members, including the Member for Ruaraka, Hon. T.J., a very committed member and a Scout. The caucus brings together parliamentarians who are interested in scouting. It also supports scouting in our Republic. Kenya holds a very special place in scouting in the world. The founder of scouting, one Lord Baden Powell, and his wife, Lady Powell, decided that their final resting place shall be in Kenya. So, the remains of the founders of the World Scouting Movement are here in Kenya. I, therefore, take this opportunity to welcome all Members of Parliament to Nyeri, the scouting capital of the world, for the most important activity in the scouting calendar, the World Scouting Founders Day this weekend."
