    "content": " On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I know that we have gone past this, but I want to welcome the distinguished members in the Speaker’s Gallery who have come to this House on a learning mission. We, as the Senate - the protectors of counties and their governments - welcome staff from counties and encourage them to learn and pick best practices from this House. We also encourage them to be the messengers of goodwill for the people of Kenya. It is often said that we seem to be devolving corruption to the counties. I urge you to be the first and last lines of defence against corruption; to resist with all your might and not take any unlawful orders whose execution amounts to corruption. This House will always be available to exchange practices and views with members of the county assemblies, be they staff or Members of County Assembly (MCAs), so that they can make devolution work. Equally important, I welcome the students in the Gallery and encourage them to be distinguished good Kenyans and walk into the future without worshiping and adoring money - like we have seen in the Jubilee regime - and be Kenyans that know that the virtue and values of life are not founded on money but on good morals. Thank you."
