    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stood and still remain guided about the point of order. Allow me to welcome the delegation especially of the young people; the students, not forgetting the lecturers. I send them to deliver my greetings to Prof. Akenga, who without the intervention of this House, some villagers wanted to throw out. Our visitors should take comfort from the fact that when things are difficult, this House will always be there to stand with them. For the lecturers, here, the future is very bright. Once upon a time, Sen. Murkomen was a young lecturer like you. Now he sits in our midst; of course the fact that he is being hounded on the ground by Mr. Kimaiyo notwithstanding. It is part of the game. Finally, I want to speak to the nation on the role and opportunity of having our students in the university. I appeal to all Kenyan leaders to view universities as centres that give an opportunity for national integration of our ethnic communities, diverse as they are, so that Kenyans, especially the youth can think Kenya. In our time, one could join Kagumo High School, Kakamega High School and so on. Today, somebody who was misguided in the days of baba na mama, brought in the issue of quotas and children ended up being admitted in villages, thus being denied a big opportunity for integration."
