    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you in welcoming the students from Bondeni Primary School. I would like to inform the students that their dreams are valid. Sometime back, while attending a similar Session – I remember the Chair at that time was hon. Gitobu Imanyara – I could not help but admire and feel that I belonged to the august House. Indeed those dreams were valid because I am now in my second term. If the students have a dream of becoming Senators, Members of the National Assembly or any other leadership position, they should continue pursuing it. They should learn by example. The only thing that I ask of our young children and learners is not to take up the bad manners that have made this country to not move forward. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as Sen. (Dr.) Langat said, we use school for political mobilization to reach out to communities, the students have learnt that they need to be given money. It is not a wonder that when you are in the villages of this country, children ask you for pesa ya macho . If this country is to grow, we depend on the students to partner with us, for us to emancipate our country from the doldrums of corruption and ineptitude. I congratulate the school for coming here to see what we do and that they may take the lessons with them to go and teach the others on how this country needs to be great. I thank you."
