    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this opportunity to welcome these students from Nyeri. They are our children and we love them so much. When we see them here, they bring our homes closer to us. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senator for Nyeri has told us that he was a classmate of the Senator for Siaya County in Alliance High School. These students might think that this is a House for only those students who went to Alliance High. I was a day-scholar somewhere, and I am here. I, therefore, want to encourage them that they can make it to this House, irrespective of their secondary schools so long as they work hard and believe in themselves. I also want to support what Sen. (Eng.) Maina said about us protecting our children from drug peddlers, sex pests and all manner of evils bedeviling this country. The Senate Committee on Education is following seriously on the culprits who impregnated school girls last year. We have engaged the Ministry of Interior and National Coordination to make sure that they are brought to book and punished accordingly. I welcome the students to this House and also encourage them that it is possible for them to be on the Floor of this House. You can see that there are several female Senators in this House. We were also young boys like them; and they are lucky because they have been accorded an opportunity to come here and see how business is conducted. Some of us did not get the opportunity to come and see what is happening around. I, therefore, urge them to work hard, be disciplined in school and everything will take its course."
