    "content": "It is for us, again, to transform that in a better way. If you engage every young person, I do not think they will even need to know exactly what are you doing. They will do it with a clean heart and they will move on. It is not just us, as leaders; the civil society also played a very critical role in transforming this culture. They make sure that whenever you come for any meeting, even if it is information that is going to assist a community, they have to give tokens for bus fare and food, thinking it was good, but it has changed our country. This is something we have to work hard to change. I am just hoping that as these young people are trained, they will transform this country. I hope that in 10 years’ time, when we look back, we will see a society that is transformed. Changing a culture cannot just happen in one day. We know it will be a process of changing what people are used to do. It is just the same way we cry about corruption. Indeed, it has been engraved in us all over. It does not matter whether it is corruption of money. It does not matter whether it is corruption of manipulation using our own tongues, as the Bible says. But more importantly, we must cry for our country. The Senate must cry for this country. This is because all the Senators I see in this House were part and parcel of building this country in the last 50 years. So, let us not again be the Senate that young people will blame by telling us “you are the ones who God gave the privilege and the positions, but look at where you took our country. Now, it is for us to transform the country.” Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, I hope and believe that we shall debate the Bill, pass the amendments and the President will assent to it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move and I call upon Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. to second."
