    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I welcome the young beautiful girls from Precious Blood High School, Riruta. I had an opportunity to speak to them before we I came to the Senate Chamber with Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. and Sen. Issa Boy. They are an intelligent and exciting group. I promised, and so did, Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. that we will create an opportunity to visit them in their school and perhaps inspire them by talking to them. One of the things I like is when I am in the presence of young people, I talk to and inspire them. There was a time when I was a law student at the University of Nairobi – this is to encourage the girls – I used to come to the National Assembly Chamber to watch debates. I used to admire the likes of Sen. Orengo and Prof. Anyang-Nyong’o debating. Little did I know that one day I will be here, in this Chamber, with Sen. Orengo and Prof. Anyang- Nyong’o, among others. So, we should not be surprised, some of my colleagues will be with some of these students in this Chamber. This opportunity for them is an inspiration and they must continue to work hard. Certainly, there are “Mafisi” out there like Sen. (Rev.) Naomi Waqo said. Our children need a protective cover around them from all the leadership, their teachers in school and from themselves. They must take care of themselves. Thank you. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
