    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First of all, allow me to acknowledge on behalf of the Senate and to welcome this group from Dagoretti North Constituency. This is one of the 17 constituencies in Nairobi. These are not students and teachers but they are part of a cohort of young men and women who are part of a mentorship programme under the office of the Senator of Nairobi. I want to thank your office because you have been gracious enough; this is the third lot from the 17 constituencies that have come here. They have been welcomed very well in the Senate and the National Assembly. They have been shown around and they have had lunch. For many of them who are getting active in the political discourse in this country and in work within the community, coming here is a big thing and they really appreciate it. However, the one thing that they asked me to do after we had lunch is to make sure that one day, in future, their children will see their names on the HANSARD. I am aware that you did not have the list but I know them. I can see: (1) Ms. Fauzia (2) Mr. Simon Tiema (3) Mr. Eric Nyandiko (4) Mr. Dennis Kombo (5) Mr. Kirkstone (a nickname) (6) Ms. Pamela Liru (7) Mr. Patrick Sabula (8) Ms. Janet Mungina (9) Mr. Dennis Ogubi (10) Mr. Clinton Opalla (11) Ms. Christabel Ngoya (12) Mr. Justin Muli (13) Mr. Mwangi, from my office. Thank you so much for accommodating them and allowing young Kenyans to be able to experience what it means for us as we legislate for them. I hope other Senators will also similarly invite people from their counties. Allow me to point out from the Statement read out by Sen. Ndwiga---. I did not hear Senators applaud when I mentioned the names, maybe, just one round of applause."
