"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am sorry to come in late, but while at the Bar, I had your communication on the World Trade Organization Conference that is about to happen in this country. I thought I should draw the attention of the Chair to the fact that Senators have truly humbled themselves in the interest of the economy of their country because World Trade Organization holding such an important function here will bring in a lot of foreign exchange. Mr. Speaker, Sir, because of the way the Senators have humbled themselves, I want to appeal to the President of the Republic to also consider that the Executive humbles itself. It is only last week when another conference that was meant to draw into the country 37 heads of States collapsed. It is sad the Government found billions of shillings for that conference, but they cannot find billions to pay our teachers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let the Executive humble itself the way we have humbled ourselves. The money that was going to do that particular conference last week for heads of States should be passed over to the teachers. We want our children back in school."
