    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. On 12th June, it is in the headlines of various newspapers that Strathmore University had defeated Harvard Law School in a competition that was held in Geneva, Switzerland. That was one of the most important days of my life. I was very proud to note that a university in Kenya could compete with Ivy League Universities. I have also visited Strathmore University severally to participate in different Senate and Strathmore joint meetings. I am quite pleased that today, the students who belong to the Debating Club are here. I encourage you to come here because, as young legislators or even as legislators in this country, we do not always know everything. It is about time you spent some time with us and share your knowledge with us. That way, whatever we do, it is to better the future and to ensure that this country does not go to the dogs. Recently we made some very controversial decisions in this House, which have put the future of this country at risk. Yes, some of us might be able to afford to pay the debt. However, if we do not take advice from you, your children might continue having many challenges in terms of meeting their daily needs. This is because most of the money in this country will go into paying debts. I welcome them. I also welcome the MCAs from Trans Nzoia County. I am extending an invitation for them to come tomorrow – if they are going to spend the night here in Nairobi – to participate in the proceedings of the CPAIC. I believe that we will be hosting the Governor of Trans Nzoia County tomorrow to go through the fiduciary responsibility."
