    "content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the name of the school should not define the school. They say that a rose by any other name will still remain a rose. I would like to encourage the boys by urging them to look at this House. There is a misconception that this is a House of elders. However, there is proof that there are young people like Sen. Kajwang, who is speaking, Sen. Cheruiyot, the Senator seating on the Chair and even Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, who is young at heart. Therefore, they should not feel like the interests of the young people are not taken care of in this House. We have people who are physically young and those that are young at heart. Sen. Bule, for instance, is very young in spirit. More fundamentally, you come from a beautiful county. I had the opportunity of walking around that county during a by-election in Kajiado Central Constituency. Your county is endowed with a very rich culture. I urge you not to forget about your culture for the cheap western one. Uphold and cherish your culture while making the best out of it. You are also lucky that you come from a county that acts as the bedroom of Nairobi. I am not sure whether it is the bedroom or the bar for Nairobi County where people gather in the evening. Your closeness to Nairobi means that you have serious economic opportunities and potential. When you go back to school, work hard. Do not aspire to work in Nairobi. Please, aspire to work and build a career in Kajiado County. That is how you will make this country great and support devolution."
