    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as the Chairman of the Committee on Education, I am alarmed when the position of the Speaker or the Chairman, for that matter, chooses not to recognize students when they come to the Senate. When I am here I see students come in and within five minutes, they go out and others come in. They leave like they are appearing here technically. We need to recognise they are here to learn more history and civics of this country. If they are asked about Senate or Parliament, proceedings, debates, and motions, among others, they will be in a position to answer accordingly. When they go back, they will write a preamble that they were welcomed by the Speaker and the Senators were happy to see them and they were appreciated. It is also important for the relevant Senator to be informed on time. It is very important to notice that, of course, we say teachers are on strike, there are some who are concerned about students’ plight and they are here because of what they are called for. It is a clear demonstration that there are some teachers who are still with the spirit of making Kenya to be what it should be in spite of the problems. I support."
