    "content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am a proud former student of Ruthagati Secondary School and proud to see young boys from my former school coming to the Senate and finding one of the Senators of Nyeri County as a former student of Ruthagati. I encourage them that we live in a country that gives every person, every child, regardless of where they come from, an opportunity to serve this country. Ruthagati was and still is one of the best day schools. Now it is a boarding school in Nyeri County. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is an extra-county school that produces some of the best scholars, including myself. Today marks that day that boys from that school have come to visit the Senate, only to find a former boy sitting here as a Senator. Work hard, be diligent in whatever you do, obey your teachers and parents and know that the sky is the limit. My standing here today is proof enough that you can become whatever you want to be because you are the bearer of your vision. Let nobody tell you since you did not go to one of those big schools, you cannot become somebody in this country. I am a Senator and a Commissioner at the same time. I am very proud today to welcome you here, to encourage you to learn and most importantly to tell you that, yes, indeed, your future lies in your hands. You can chase after your dreams and become whatever you want to become. In the Senate, which is the upper House, we are 67 Senators and one of them comes from your school. Therefore, that should be motivation enough for you to go and work very hard. I will be seeing you out there to share with you a word or two. I will also be coming to visit your school because I remember that I promised you a cheque. I have already bought it. It is at home. I will bring it in the next couple of days. Welcome to the Senate. See you later. Thank you very much."
