I am a strong believer in the fact that the way values are instilled in us when we are young, determines who we become when we become adults. I am glad that this Motion is brought by Hon. Odanga my good friend who, in his own rights, is a respected teacher and a leader in the teaching profession. I do not claim godly credentials like Hon. Gathogo who has just left the Chamber, Hon. Mutava Musyimi or Hon. Bishop Mutemi, but I know that the values that were instilled in me when I was young are the values that I have in life up to now. As I was growing up in those early days when Kisumu Catholic Diocese stretched from Kisii to Migori up to Turkana, I spent many years when I was a young boy--- I am glad that we have students here watching these proceedings. I spent many years as a mass server, the ones who are called toto misa . Having served as a toto misa for long, when I got to puberty age, my father handed me to the church to be a catholic priest and I went to the seminary. The Bishop of Kisumu Catholic Diocese was Danish. He was called Bishop Joannes de Reeper. After some time in the seminary, he dismissed me and I went back home. I will not give the reason why I was dismissed now, I will say it another day."}
