    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join in welcoming students and teachers from the mighty county of Bungoma, where yours truly is the Senator and the Speaker hails from. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Moi Girls Kamusinga is a school that I am particularly proud of. This is because it is a twin school to my old school, Friends School, Kamusinga where I went to high school. It is also a school that has a population that is large enough to qualify to be made a national school. Therefore, you and I should pursue this to assist in this regard. I feel proud to see the girls here because Bungoma, being one of the most densely populated counties in Kenya, has been on the frontline of supporting girl education from Early Childhood Development Education (ECDE), to high school and university. We will do everything possible to ensure that our schools do well. To the girls and teachers, this is the Senate, a House of reason, the ‘Upper’ House in the Parliament of Kenya and the House that does not tolerate jokers. We encourage you. As some of us retire, we can see Senators, MCAs and Members of the National Assembly among you. When you are here, you will see dynamic female legislators who have walked the same path as you have. You are welcome. Feel free. The Speaker and I will have an opportunity to talk to you. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am also proud to tell the Senate that in my earlier life, as a non-trained teacher, Mr. Speaker was one of my students."
