    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to first welcome the students who have come to visit us in Parliament today. I encourage them that even today is a future that they once hoped for before. The world is their oyster. If they choose to defy their present gratification, they can be anything that they choose to be. Everything that they require is provided for them including the opportunity to engage with their leaders. I wish them all the best as they pursue education. I am sure that amongst them, we have people who are the trustees of our country’s posterity and that they will change this country in whichever sphere they will get into. Leadership is not a position. It is not about being a Member of Parliament (MP) or a Senator. Leadership is influence wherever they might be. I wish them all the best as they move along. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also wish to recognize Mr. Daniel ole Ting’a. I do not know whether he is related to the “Tinga” that we know. I welcome him to the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir where he works in Google in the United States of America, I have had the chance to visit the headquarters. I have also had the chance to go to Alwalton in San Francisco; what they call the Silicon Valley. They recognise that Kenya is the emerging Silicon Savanna because of the kind of interventions and innovations that are coming from our young people. I encourage the young people of this country; I know he is starting a project in Narok. I am proud of my young people in Nairobi at Nailab, Ihub. The kind of innovation coming up is world changing. We are living in a world that is now driven by information technology, powered by data. We must ensure that our children, right from the lowest level of education have the tools with which to compete. Today our young people in Narok are not competing with young people in Bomet but they are competing with young people in Japan, in the USA and all over the world. Consequently, we must give them the same tools that all of them have across the universe. Thank you. We hope to see better work from you. We are glad that one of your former colleagues Mr. Mucheru is a Cabinet Secretary in our country and we can see the The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.
