    "content": "seven students from Kangaru Boys High School. This means that it was one of the top schools in the country at the time. That it gave an offshoot of Kangaru Girls High School means that the apple did not fall too far from the tree. I hope that the girls in the Gallery today are destined to be great leaders, lawyers, doctors, engineers and psychologists who will join leadership, including but not limited to this House. Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to join my colleagues who have welcomed the student leaders from University of Eldoret where their vice chancellor is my constituent. In the last Parliament, University of Eldoret went through turbulent times. We remember when the then sitting Senator for Uasin Gishu County led a gang of thugs to flush out the vice chancellor from the university and we condemned it on the Floor of this House. I thank the Senate Majority Leader because he stood firm on the side of academia and truth. He condemned the sugary that was committed at that time. As student leaders, we encourage you to reform the state of university politics. I cannot put it any better than the way Senate Majority Leader has put it. When we were in leadership, the only contest we used to enjoy day in day out was ideological debates and leanings. We were not tied to political tycoons and all manner of people as sponsors to play our university politics. I encourage the students leaders from the University of Eldoret to be a bastion of intellectual growth and to remain focused on issues that will make this country better. They are not future leaders; they are leaders of today because where they are and whatever they say matters and counts."
