    "content": " Thank you. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you on behalf of my colleagues to welcome the comrades from Mama Ngina University College. I hope the students have had to follow what's happened in the house thus far. Today is one of those slow days if what they know about Parliament is to be considered. There has not been any significant drama or debate, but it is not to say that that is assured for the rest of the day. However, Senators are reacting to Statements that their colleagues have raised on various topical issues. Thereafter, those Statements will be shared with various Committees to give a response to the specific Member on those issues. That is what we have been doing for the last few hours. Occasionally, we do that when there is no heavy agenda ahead of us, not to say that it is not important business. I hope these students will learn a thing or two about their country and how the legislature works. They should take comfort and encouragement from the fact that many of the leaders who serve in this House, including yours, truly began their journey into leadership during their days as university student leaders. Therefore, I am happy for their endeavour and pursuit in the things that they seek to learn and understand about this House. I hope that by the end of their tour, they will get to full comprehension. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to challenge them to participate more actively in the affairs of the country as they have been doing it both online and offline in their universities or colleges and wherever they can to make this country a better place. I thank you."
