    "content": "including the Alternative Dispute Resolution Bill, the Registration of Persons (Amendment) Bill and many others. This particular group is also involved in debate. What was very interesting about them is that they almost go very close to the Oxford Union and Cambridge Union in terms of endearing themselves to having debates about social, economic, and cultural issues that are key for development in this country. We feel very encouraged that at this young age, they are already beginning to take into cognizance issues about this country and debate them at this young age. They are able to express themselves even as they move forward to later on becoming young male and female politicians. By us interacting with them at the Tallberg Dinner, it gave them the energy and interest about what we do as a Senate and also so themselves as they move forward. I found them to be a group of very young, vibrant, confident men and women. I think that this is what we need in this country. Even as we welcome them, we encourage the youth of this country to tell them that it is their time to speak. We need to listen to the ideas that they are bringing to the fore because we need those fresh ideas. They will see the Senators who attended the Tällberg Workshop such as Sen. M. Kajwang' and Sen. Olekina. They will also see Sen. Wetangula, whom they met earlier today. We are all working on this. We encourage other delegations of such young people to come to the Senate to hear us debate and to know that we are together in this long journey; development of this country."
