    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to join you in welcoming the pupils and teachers seated in the Public Gallery to the Senate Chamber. I encourage them that it is only a matter of time before those who are interested in politics can join us. My advice to the pupils is that discipline is core to advancement in any career and the life of an individual. Yesterday, together with other politicians, I attended an education forum in a county of this Republic. As we were leaving the school, I was so surprised to hear pupils in standard six and seven telling us that we did not give them hand-outs to prepare the ground. I was so shocked and lamented the directions that our young children have taken. Teachers have a huge task in shaping the destiny of these particular children. The pupils were addressing some Members of Parliament (MPs) as if they are age mates. Among the Kalenjins, „Wei‟ is a word that you can only use to address your age mates. However, the young kids were addressing us using that word. I regretted on the morals of our children. I reflected on the moral decay that we have been witnessing lately, for example, the axing to death of the girl from the Moi University, School of Medicine. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to tell the teacher who has accompanied these students who are seated here today to take more time in shaping the moral aspect of our children."
